February 14, 1984 abstract: Polylysine promoted extensive membrane mixing of liposomes …

We have demonstrated the capacity of non-phospholipid liposomes composed primarily of
dioxyethylene acyl ethers and cholesterol to fuse with membranes composed primarily of …

The effect of cholesterol on the Ca 2+-induced aggregation and fusion of large unilamellar
phosphatidylserine (PS) vesicles has been investigated. Mixing of aqueous vesicle contents …

The fusion of mammalian cells cultured in vitro by unilamellar vesicles prepared from
individual or mixed phospholipid species is described. Maximum cell fusion in both …

presented that allows continuous and sensitive monitoring of membrane fusion in both …

The kinetics of Ca 2+-induced fusion of small unilamellar phosphatidylserine (PS) vesicles
was investigated by continuous monitoring of the mixing of vesicle lipids and, in parallel, the …

Two fluorescence energy transfer assays for phospholipid vesicle-vesicle fusion have been
developed, one of which is also sensitive to vesicle aggregation. Using a combination of …
