| Bioactivity | DOPE (dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine) is a neutral helper lipid for cationic liposome and combines with cationic phospholipids to improve transfection efficiency of naked siRNA[1]. | ||||||||||||
| Target | IC50: helper lipid for liposome | ||||||||||||
| Invitro | In this study, each siRNA is encapsulated in LNP (cationic lipid-A: PEG2000-DMPE: DOPE = 47.8: 5.18: 47.1 molar percent)[1].With the neutral lipid for the LNP is DOPE, LNP exerts knock-down (KD) effecton macrophages and DCs and Liposome-containing DOPE shows fusogenicity[1].LNP/siRNA significantly suppresses CD45 protein expression at an inhibition rate of 30% on macrophages and DCs but not on monocytes, neutrophils, plasmacytoid DCs, or B cells[1].LNP has the potential to be an efficient siRNA delivery system not only for murine but also for human macrophages and DCs[1]. | ||||||||||||
