Spontaneous transfer of viral protein from membrane of influenza virus-infected cells to liposomes is dependent on the diameter of receiver.
Spontaneous transfer of protein from either influenza virus-infected or uninfected cells to dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) liposomes was examined. The amount of transferred protein of liposomes incubated with influenza virus-infected cells (I-lipo) was more than that of liposomes incubated with uninfected cells (U-lipo). The ratio of the amount of spontaneous transferred protein of I-lipo to that of U-lipo increased in proportion to the diameter of liposomes except for small unilamellar vesicles.
