FACS histograms of blood samples after incubation with liposomes and
erythrocyte lysis. Upper panel: distribution of peripheral blood cells in
samples without liposomes; A, lymphocytes; B, monocytes; C, neutrophils; the
area of dead cells is highlighted below. Panels 0, 30, 60 min: fluorescence of
phagocytized liposomes “gated” by subpopulations of leukocytes
after incubations for 0, 30, 60 min (a dye was added to quench the fluorescence
of the liposomes adsorbed on the surface of cells; yellow zones are cells with
incompletely quenched liposome fluorescence on the surface). TMB-PC liposomes
of the following compositions were used: ePC (sample L); ePC–MTXDG, 9 : 1
(sample L-MTXDG); ePC–MTXDG–PI, 8 : 1 : 1 (sample L-MTXDG-PI );
ePC–MTXDG–CMGPE, 8 : 1 : 1 (sample L-MTXDG- CMG),
ePC–MTXDG–GM1, 8 : 1 : 1 (sample L-MTXDG-GM1)
