FIGURE 4.
Effects of lipid phase and DPS polymers on the stability of LB monolayers during incubation with vesicles to form asymmetric planar-supported bilayers. Bilayers were made by the LB/VF technique at room temperature. The LB monolayer was stained with 0.5% Rh-DPPE and composed of POPC (A), POPC + 3% DPS (B), DPPC/cholesterol (C), or DPPC/cholesterol + 3% DPS (D). The vesicles contained only POPC in all cases. The white bar represents 20 μm.
