Introduction of phospholipids to cultured cells with cyclodextrin

Previous studies indicate that methyl-β-cyclodextrin (meβ-CD) can greatly enhance translocation of long-chain phospholipids from vesicles to cells in culture, which is very useful when studying, e.g., phospholipid metabolism and trafficking. However, the parameters affecting the transfer have not be...
