Insertion stability of poly(ethylene glycol)-cholesteryl-based lipid anchors in liposome membranes.

Eur J Pharm Biopharm

Liposomes consist of a hydrophilic core surrounded by a phospholipid (PL) bilayer. In human blood, the half-life of such artificial vesicles is limited. To prolong their stability in the circulation, liposomal bilayers can be modified by inserting poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) molecules using either PL or sterols as membrane anchors.

An immunoliposome (80 nm in diameter) encapsulating a Ru complex with two aminobutyl moieties was prepared to detect the presence of hemagglutinin molecules, which play an important role in influenza virus infection. The highly sensitive detection was accomplished by electrochemiluminescence (ECL) from the Ru complex adsorbed onto Au electrodes after competitive immunoreactions. This method clarified that the adsorption of the Ru complex onto the electrode was an important factor in obtaining high sensitivity.

A GMP-compliant process is described for producing F5cys-PEG-lipid conjugate. This material fuses with preformed, drug-loaded liposomes, to form "immunoliposomes" that bind to HER2/neu overexpressing carcinomas, stimulates drug internalization, and ideally improves the encapsulated drug's therapeutic index. The soluble, single-chain, variable region antibody fragment, designated F5cys, was produced in E.

Development of a membrane strip immunosensor utilizing ruthenium as an electro-chemiluminescent signal generator.

A photometric immunosensor that can be used for on-site diagnosis has been constructed. The sensor system was assembled by partially superimposing a nitrocellulose membrane strip (the lower) containing an immobilized antigen on the surface with a glass fiber membrane strip (the upper) including two electrodes on the opposite surfaces. To amplify the signal, we introduced a liposome, containing ruthenium molecules trapped in the core, chemically coupled to an antibody specific to the analyte (e.

Melanoma is a highly malignant and increasingly common neoplasm. Because metastatic melanoma remains incurable, new treatment approaches are needed. Immunoliposomes have been previously shown to enhance the selective localization of immunoliposome-entrapped drugs to solid tumors with improvements in the therapeutic index of the drugs.
