Abstract

See full text

The present disclosure relates to novel liposome compositions and methods for their preparation. Utilization of the present invention provides an efficient reconstitution of membrane proteins into large (0.1 to 2 micron diameter) phospholipid vesicles with a large, internal aqueous space. The method has been exemplified with the use of glycoproteins of influenza (A/PR8/34) and Sendai (parainfluenza type I) viruses. The method comprises (A) extracting out the desired membrane protein from a source biological material with an extraction buffer comprising a detergent; (B) mixing the extract with a phospholipid solution and deriving a cochleate intermediate; and (C) forming large phospholipid vesicles with integrated membrane protein in a biologically active state.
