  2. RATIONALE: lipid domains are specialized zones of the membrane enriched in peculiar lipids (glycolipids, sphingomyelin, cholesterol). Selected proteins (e.g. containing a palmitoyl- or a glycosyl- phosphatidylinositol anchor or an highly hydrophobic TMD) are recruited within rafts due to lipid-protein interactions 10-20nm 100 nm A set of selected molecules can be chemically derivatized ( e.g. by palmitoylation) and targeted to rafts in order to realize a nano-scale cassette accomplishing a biological task (e.g. therapy) SMALL UNILAMELLAR VESICLES extrusion under dipersion of lipids in N2 pressure water

  3. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) • DSC is used to monitor thermotropic properties: transition temperature (Tm) and enthalpy (H) of gel-liquid transition • Information about the existence of lipid domains • Interactions of proteins with domains

  5. Esempio: rimozione in circolo di molecole di adesione presenti sull’endotelio, sui leucociti e su cellule tumorali, e coinvolte in processi infiammatori e nella metastatizzazione dei tumori PI-PLC CELLULA N SMALL UNILAMELLAR VESICLE Anticorpo Molecole di adesione
