Study of the Immunomagnetoliposomes’ Cytotoxicity to Leucocytes and Erythrocytes of Human Blood

Abstract: 

In this study, we investigated the toxic properties of synthesized immunomagnetoliposomes of the following composition: phosphatidylcholine - cholesterol - disteroylphosphoethanolamine-polyethylene glycol (2000) - magnetite - antibodies to histone H3. Their dimensional characteristics were studied by the dynamic light scattering method. It was revealed that liposomal nanoparticles have dimensions of 176.4 ± 12.9 nm. Data on the toxicity of the synthesized nanoparticles in relation to human blood cells: liposomes in cells to liposomes ratio from 1/1 to 1/1000 have no toxic effect on lymphocytes; lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release from human blood erythrocytes has been observed in the case of cells/liposomes ratio 1/100-1/1000 after the incubation with liposomes containing sodium azide (0.03%).
