<h3>Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) formation</h3>

<p>The method used to form the GUVs is “Vesicle Formation from emulsion”. This method consists in a controlled hydration of dried or nearly dried films of lipids deposited on a solid surface, in this case electrodes. </p>

<ol> <li>Preparation of lipids solution</li> <p>The lipid mixture contains 1, 2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC) and 1, 2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoserine (DOPS) in a 9:1 proportion in 1 mg/ml concentration. The solution is prepared with the organic solvent chloroform.</p> <li>Lipids spreading</li> <p>6.5 µl of the lipid mixture is evenly spread in the surface of two little wires, the electrodes, which are previously cleaned by sonication cycles, washed with ethanol and dried.</p> <li>Solvent evaporation</li> <p>The lipid sample is left to dry over the electrodes inside an extractor for at least 15 min to evacuate the solvent of chloroform.</p> <li>Electroformation</li> <p>The electrodes are inserted in the lid of a plastic chamber that is filled with 3.5 ml of sucrose solution isomolar to the working buffer (HEPES, NaCl and w/o Mg2+). This solution hydrates the dry lipid sample to form the GUVs emulsion. The hydration is carried out in the presence of an electric field with a frequency of 10 Hz during 2 hours to electroformate the vesicles and of 2 Hz during 30 min to detached them from the electrodes.</p>

<h3>Large unilamellar vesicles (LUVs) formation</h3>

<p>The method employed consists of rehydratation and extrusion, whose detailed procedures are summarized as following:</p>

<ol> <li>Preparation of lipids solution</li> <p>The lipid mixture of 1 mg/ml concentration contains 1, 2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC) and 1, 2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoserine (DOPS) with 0%-10% DOPS volume. The solution is prepared with the organic solvent chloroform.</p> <li>Evaporation</li> <p>25 µl of sample solution are distributed as evenly as possible in the interior surface of a crystal meanwhile it is blown-dry using nitrogen. To totally evacuate the solvent of chloroform, the vial is left during one hour inside a drier. </p> <li>Hydratation</li> <p>500 µl of the working buffer (HEPES, NaCl and w/o Mg2+) is used to hydrate the dry lipid.</p> <li>Incubation</li> <p>The vials are left for 2 hours of incubation; mix the sample using a vortexer.</p> <li>Freeze/thaw</li> <p>The sample is immersed in liquid nitrogen followed by boiling water for 5 cycles totally.</p> <li>Extrusion</li> <p>Assemble the membrane inside the extruder as it follows:</p> <ol type="a"> <li>The Teflon piece is wetted with buffer.</li> <li>The 2 pieces of cellulose membrane are placed in a support in the center of the Teflon piece.</li> <li>Put the PC membrane with a pore size of 50-100 µm on the taller piece of the holder.</li> <li>A drop of buffer is placed on top of the membrane.</li> <li>The 2 pieces of Teflon holder are placed together.</li> <li>The syringe is filled with the lipid solution, and extrude at least 11 times.</li> <li>The extruded sample from the acceptor syringe is withdrawn. The solution should look clearer than it was before extrusion.</li> </ol> <li>Cleaning</li> <p>The Teflon piece, o-ring and syringe should be rinsed with copious 2-propanol and deionized water after use. Otherwise the residues will contaminate the next sample.</p> </ol>

<h2>Aptamer Lock</h2>

<h3>Optimization Experiments</h3>

<ol> <li>Equi-molar quanities of unlabeled aptamer strands and Cy3 labeled aptamer locking strands were mixed to produce samples with 1 nM, 10 nM and 100 nM concentrations of Cy3 labeled strands.</li>

   <li> All the samples were made in SLB buffer (<a href="http://openwetware.org/wiki/Biomod/2012/TU_Dresden/Nanosaurs/Lab_book#recipes">Lab Book -> Recipes</a>)</li>

<li> The samples were then annealed in a PCR system and spectrophotometrically measured.</li> <li> Spectrophotometric measurements very done using 120 µl cuvettes in a spectrophotometer.</li> <li> The samples were excited at 510 nm and emission was measured at 564 nm.</li> </ol>

<h3>Spectrophotometric Measurements</h3>

<ol> <li> All the spectrophotometric samples were prepared in SLB buffer (<a href="http://openwetware.org/wiki/Biomod/2012/TU_Dresden/Nanosaurs/Lab_book#recipes">Lab Book -> Recipes</a>)</li>

   <li> A 10 nM concentration of the respective labeled/unlabeld lock/oligo was used</li>
   <li> When PDGF was used, it was always used in 10 times excess concentration than the oligos</li>

<li> When either of the blockers were used, they were used in a 10 times excess concentration than the oligos</li> <li> All samples were incubated at room temperature for 24 Hrs.</li> <li> Spectrophotometric measurements very done using 120 µl cuvettes in a spectrophotometer.</li> <li> All the samples were excited at 510 nm and emission was measured at 624 nm</li> </ol>

<h3>Gel Shift Assays</h3>

<ol> <li> All the gel samples were prepared in SLB buffer (<a href="http://openwetware.org/wiki/Biomod/2012/TU_Dresden/Nanosaurs/Lab_book#recipes">Lab Book -> Recipes</a>)</li>

   <li> ~70 ng of DNA concentration was maintained for each sample.</li>

<li> When PDGF was used, it was always used in 10 times excess concentration than the lock/oligos</li> <li> When either of the blockers were used, they were used in a 10 times excess concentration than the lock/oligos</li> <li> All samples were incubated at room temperature for 24 Hrs.</li> <li> Fermentas 6X Orange DNA Loading Dye was used with all the samples

   <li> Fermentas O’RangeRuler 20 bp DNA Ladder was used</li>

<li> Invitrogen, 4-20% TBE PAGE Gels were used and electrophoresis was performed for 40 minutes at 200 V</li> </ol>
