MATERIALS AND METHODSTV-Methyldioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine (TV-methyl-DOPE) and lysophosphatidylcholine (from egg phosphatidylcholine) were obtained from Avanti Polar Lipids, Bir-mingham, AL. Octadecylrhodamine B chloride (Rjg), l-aminonaphthalene-3, 6, 8-trisulfonic acid (disodium salt)(ANTS), andp-xylylenebis (pyridiniumbromide)(DPX) were from Molecular Probes, Inc., Junction City, OR.Vesicle Preparation. Large unilamellar vesicles encapsu-lating ANTS or DPX were prepared according to methods described previously (Szoka et al., 1980) with some modifi-cations (Ellens et al., 1989). TV-Methyl-DOPE was hydrated for 3 h on ice, under N2, either in 25 mM ANTS, 45 mM NaCl, and 10 mM glycine, pH 9.5, or in 90 mM DPX/10 mM glycine, pH 9.5. The lipid suspension was next subjected to 5 freeze-thaw cycles followed by 10 extrusions through a polycarbonate membrane with 0.1-(im pores (Nucleopore Corp., Pleasanton, CA). Encapsulated material was separated from unencapsulated material on a Sephadex G-50 column (Pharmacia) with 100 mM NaCl, 10 mM glycine, and 0.1 mM EDTA, pH 9.5, used as the elution buffer. Vesicles were stored on ice, under N2, and were used within 1 day. Vesicles were characterized by negative-stain transmission electron microscopy and by gel chromatography as a function of the number of extrusions. After 10 extrusions, no further improvement in homogeneity of vesicle size was seen. Also, no evidence of multilamellar vesicles was observed. According to measurements of the electron micrographs, the LUV ranged in size from 200 to 900 nm, with most LUV near 400 nm.
