Example 2

Dioleoylphosphatidylserine (DOPS) was obtained from Avanti Polar Lipids (Alabaster Ala.). Twenty to thirty μmoles of DOPS in chloroform were dried under N2 and vacuum to lipid films. Five to ten μmoles saposin C polypeptide was added to the dried films and suspended in 50 μl McIlvanine buffer (pH 4.7). The suspension was then brought to a 1 ml volume with either cell culture medium or phosphate buffered saline (PBS) (Ausubel et al. (2002) Current Protocols in Molecular Biology. John Wiley & Sons, New York, N.Y., herein incorporated by reference). The mixture was sonicated in a bath sonicator for approximately 20 minutes. Ice was added as needed to prevent overheating the samples.

Preparation of Fluorescent SapC-DOPS Nanovesicles

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Dioleoylphosphatidylserine (DOPS; Avanti Polar Lipids Inc., Alabaster, AL) was dried under a stream of N2 gas, combined with recombinant SapC protein (27 (link)) in citrate/phosphate buffer (pH 5.0) and bath sonicated in PBS as described in detail previously (21 (link)). To fluorescently label SapC-DOPS nanovesicles, an aliquot of CellVue® Maroon (CVM, Molecular Targeting Technology Inc., Exton, PA) in ethanol was dried together with DOPS before SapC addition and bath sonication. Free CVM was eliminated from this preparation by filtration through a Sephadex G25 column (PD-10, Amersham Pharmacia Biotech, Piscataway, NJ). For in vivo treatment, a lyophilized formulation was used: dry DOPS was suspended in 80% tert-butanol. SapC and sucrose (10 mg/ml) were dissolved in water. DOPS suspension and SapC plus sucrose (1:0.6, vol:vol) was lyophilized in a freeze dryer (VirTis Unitop 1000L linked to a Freezemobile 25XL; The VIRTIS, Gardiner, NY). The stable powder cake was resuspended in saline solution to form SapC-DOPS nanovesicles. Vesicles were monitored with a submicron particle size analyzer (Coulter Model N4 Plus; Fullerton, CA). The molar ratio of SapC:DOPS was 1:7.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
