Adhesion and Fusion of Two Kinds of Phospholipid Hybrid Vesicles Controlled by Surface Charges of Vesicular Membranes
Vesicular adhesion and fusion of two kinds of hybrid vesicles composed of zwitterionic and anionic phospholipids were induced by a pH-change that caused a difference in vesicular surface charges. This facile vesicular fusion method can be applied to a substrate-transfer from a conveyer vesicle to a target vesicle.
