Polyethylene glycol 300 and low pH of the incubation medium initiate fusion of anionic lipid liposome membranes with Ehrlich ascitic carcinoma cell membranes. Some liposomes are endocytosed in cells and are distributed near the inner surface of the membrane. Liposome membranes spontaneously fuse with the cells under certain conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
