Application

1,2-Dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DOPE) forms heterogenous liposomes with N-[1-(2,3-dioleoyloxy)propyl]-N,N,N-trimethylammonium methylsulfate (DOTAP), which are used as delivery vehicles for therapeutic agents .

Biochem/physiol Actions

DOPE in mixed membranes have been found to decrease fluorescence lifetime and increase acyl-chain order. DOPE is an essential component of cationic liposomes designed to deliver DNA into gliosarcoma and kidney cell lines (gene therapy).

Packaging

Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.

To develop gene therapy targeted to the kidney, we compared three different routes of liposome-mediated gene delivery to the kidney in mice, ie intra-renal-pelvic, intra-renal-arterial, and intra-renal-parenchymal injections. A plasmid construct, pCMV beta gal, containing a cytomegalovirus (CMV) immediate-early gene

The effect of 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DOPE) in mixed membranes with 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) on interaction with a class A amphipathic peptide, Ac-DWLKAFYDKVAEKLKEAF-NH(2) (Ac-18A-NH(2)), was investigated. The fluorescence lifetime of 2-(9-anthroyloxy)stearic acid and (2)H NMR spectra were used to evaluate the penetration of
