Preparation and characterization of surface-modified nanoliposomes using click chemistry techniques
Frydrychová, Aneta ; Bartoš,, Milan (referee) ; Turánek, Jaroslav (advisor)
Over the past decades the liposomes have been intensively studied for their unique properties which predispose them for use as drug delivery systems or for constructions of vaccines. This diploma thesis provides an overview of their most important properties, preparation options and their surface modification. The aim of this thesis is thus a preparation and characterization of the nanoliposomes and their surface modification. The liposomes were prepared by lipid film hydration method and mannan polysacharide was used for surface modification. Due to the use of a lipid with an N-oxy group, the modification was carried out via an oxime ligation via click chemistry. Nanoliposomes were characterized by series of physicochemical methods such as TEM, DLS, FT-IR or nano-flow cytometry. Part of the thesis is a study of the interactions of liposomes accomplished on selected cell lines to verify whether they stimulate immune response pathways. Its results confirmed activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome leading to the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1). Thus, these polymer coated nanoliposomes are potentially useful as vaccine adjuvants.
