Abstract:A methodology which provides a high efficiency of giant vesicle formation was established using the gentle hydration method and a microplotter equipment. The method consists of preparing a mixture of zwitterionic egg yolk phosphatidylcholine/additive in solution and printing a number of droplets onto a glass substrate, which immediately dry after deposition. Then, gentle hydration of these micro-sized thin-films provides a high amount of giant liposomes, per microsized film. Several cases were studied by varyi… Show more
