Research Abstract |
Perfect extraction of intrinsic membrane proteins from intact cells and reconstitution of them without any denaturation and deactivation are basic requirement in investigation of the function of membrane proteins. For this purpose, artificial cell liposome seem to be a desirable and promising tool in both basic investigation and application. In order to improve the reconstitution efficiency of membrane proteins into liposomes, we have developed a novel artificial boundary lipid, 1,2-dimyristoylamido-1,2-deoxy- phosphatidylcholine (DDPC), of which alkyl chains are linked by an amide bond. When DDPC-containing liposomes were coincubated with intact cells such as erythrocyte, platelet and tumor cell, several membrane proteins were able to be effectively transferred from the intact cell to the liposome. Using this technique, furthermore, we succeeded in development of liposomal vaccine against BALB RVD leukemia cell for tumor surface antigenic proteins (TSAP) transferred from the tumor cells to liposomes.
