Summary

A technique for the rapid production of large unilamellar vesicles by repeated extrusion under moderate pressures by employing the lipophilic cation methyltriphenylphosphonium (MTPP⁺) and LUVET systems exhibiting a membrane potential in response to a transmembrane Na⁺/K⁺ gradient have been characterized.
