Abstract

See full text

In order to prepare the unilamellar low-density lipid vesicles, a presolution of vegetable lipids is first prepared; a suitable quantity of lipids, between 4 and 12 mg/ml, mixed with pure water, heated and stirred for about 30 minutes; the suspension obtained is kept at 50-60° C. for one hour and stirred for 2 minutes every 20 minutes. The high molecular weight hyaluronan is added to the lipidic suspension until a final concentration of 1 mg/ml is obtained, and the suspension of lipids and hyaluronan is emulsified by sonication, pumped using a homogenising valve and immediately made to go through a polycarbonate membrane, to obtain a final suspension with 70% of the particles in suspension having a size between 5 and 15 nm, which makes it possible to use the monolayer vesicles of HA and LDL for the cryopreservation and culture of different mammalian cells, specially germ cells.
