We studied the influence of calcium on lipid mixing mediated by influenza hemagglutinin (HA). Lipid mixing between HA-expressing cells and liposomes containing disialoganglioside, influenza virus receptor, was studied at 37 degrees C and neutral pH after a low-pH pulse at 4 degrees C. With DSPC/cholesterol liposomes, calcium present after raising the temperature significantly promoted lipid mixing only when it was triggered by a short low-pH application. In case of DOPC/cholesterol liposomes, ca ...[more]
