TABLE 3

Physicochemical properties of the vesicles used in calcein release, cell interaction (in vitro), and in vivo studies

Mean diameter, polydispersity index (PDI), and ζ-potential of CVs from HEK-293 cells (CVHEK-293), B16F10 cells (CVB16F10), and hCMEC/D3 cells (CVhCMEC) as well as pegylated CVB16F10 (PEG-CVB16F10) and pegylated CVhCMEC/D3 (PEG-CVhCMEC/D3). Liposomes (LIP), pegylated liposomes (PEG-LIP) (PC/PG/Chol/PEG) and targeted liposomes (t-LIP) properties are also reported.
