Liposome-cell interaction: transfer and intracellular release of a trapped fluorescent marker

JN Weinstein, S Yoshikami, P Henkart, R Blumenthal, and WA Hagins

When small, unilamellar lipid vesicles containing a high concentration of the fluorescent dye 6-carboxyfluorescein are incubated with either frog retinas or human lymphocytes, fluroescence distributes widely throughout each cell. Since "self-quenching" largely prevents the dye from fluorescing as long as it remains sequestered in vesicles, it is clear that a considerable amount of dye is released from the vesicles and diluted into the much larger volume of the cell.
