Fusion of photoreceptor membrane vesicles
The Journal of Membrane Biology, 1979The n-alkyl bromides with 6 to 10 carbons induce formation of vesicles of 5 to 100 micrometer diameter from the small vesicles (0.1 micrometer average diameter) produced by disruption of the discs from frog rod photoreceptors. The n-alkanes, n-alkyl iodides and n-alkyl chlorides are relatively ineffective. The formation of large vesicles is independent

Physical Review A, 1990
A family of the exact and analytical solutions of the equilibrium shape equation of vesicle membranes is found. They are anchor rings with generating circles of radii in the ratio 1/ \ensuremath{\surd}2 . It is shown that these ring vesicles are stable for some negative values of their spontaneous curvatures, such that experimental construction of such

Lipid vesicles and membrane fusion
Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews, 1999Membrane fusion is essential for cell survival and has attracted a great deal of both theoretical and experimental interest. Fluorescence (de)quenching measurements were designed to distinguish between bilayermerging and vesicle-mixing. Theoretical studies and various microscopic and diffraction methods have elucidated the mechanism of membrane fusion.

Roles of bacterial membrane vesicles
Archives of Microbiology, 2014Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are released from the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. Moreover, Gram-positive bacteria also produce membrane-derived vesicles. As OMVs transport several bacterial components, especially from the cell envelope, their interaction with the host cell, with other bacteria or as immunogens, have been studied intensely.

Bacterial membrane vesicles for vaccine applications
Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews, 2022Vaccines have been highly successful in the management of many diseases. However, there are still numerous illnesses, both infectious and noncommunicable, for which there are no clinically approved vaccine formulations. While there are unique difficulties that must be overcome in the case of each specific disease, there are also a number of common ...

Giant Vesicles with Membranous Microcompartments
Langmuir, 2011Incubation of a cell-sized lipid membrane vesicle (giant vesicle, GV) in a diluted aqueous solution of neutral phosphate buffer salts or glucose transformed the GV to an oligovesicular vesicle (OVV) that encapsulates one or more smaller GVs. During the incubation, the membrane of flaccid vesicle invaginated and closed to form the inner vesicle of an ...

Electrophysiology of plasma membrane vesicles
American Journal of Physiology-Renal Physiology, 1984In both renal and gastrointestinal physiology, it has become popular to study epithelial transport phenomena using vesicles isolated from the apical and basolateral cell membranes. Transport in vesicle preparations is usually monitored with radioactive tracers, but more recently attention has been directed to electrophysiological methods.

Proteomic Analysis of Plasma Membrane Vesicles
Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2009AbstractA simple and scalable method is presented for harvesting, purification, and on‐chip processing of mammalian plasma membrane vesicles (PMVs) optimized for downstream proteome analysis. After immobilization on a microfluidic flowcell of PMVs, the embedded membrane proteins are proteolytically digested, and the peptides harvested and analyzed by ...

Vesicle tethering complexes in membrane traffic
Journal of Cell Science, 2002Despite the recent progress in the field of membrane traffic, the question of how the specificity of membrane fusion is achieved has yet to be resolved. It has become apparent that the SNARE proteins, although central to the process of fusion, are often not the first point of contact between a vesicle and its target.
