LIPID VESICLES CONTAINING LABELED SPECIES AND THEIR ANALYTICAL USES

摘要

Vesicles having a matrix of lipid membranes prepared from lipid materials are useful in biomedical studies and immunoassays. A labeled species is encapsulated within the vesicles and released when the vesibles are lysed with a surface active agent. The outer surface of the vesicles is essentially free of the labeled species. Immunoassays can be carried out in solution or with a dry analytical element.
