Abstract
Reconstituted influenza virus envelopes (virosomes) containing the viral hemagglutinin (HA) have attracted attention as delivery vesicles for cytosolic drug delivery as they possess membrane fusion activity. Here, we show that influenza virosomes can be targeted towards ovarian carcinoma cells (OVCAR-3) with preservation of fusion activity. This was achieved by incorporating poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-derivatized lipids into the virosome membrane. This PEG layer serves as shield to prevent interaction of HA with ubiquitous sialic acid residues and as spatial anchor for antibody attachment. Coupling of Fab' fragments of mAb 323/A3 (anti-epithelial glycoprotein-2) to the distal ends of PEG lipids resulted in specific binding of virosomes to OVCAR-3 cells. These antibody-redirected virosomes fused with membranes of OVCAR-3 cells in a pH-dependent fashion.

Abstract
Sendai virus is able to fuse with liposomes even without virus receptors. To determine the roles of envelope protein, hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) and fusion (F) protein, in Sendai virus-liposome fusion, we treated the virus with proteases and examined its fusion with liposomes and the conditions of HN and F protein. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and western blotting analysis showed that the virus treated with 150 units/ml of trypsin, which inactivated selectively hemolysis activity, maintained intact HN, F and partially digested F (32 kDa) protein, while virus treated with 15,000 units/ml of trypsin, which inactivated both hemolysis and neuraminidase activity, had only a 15-kDa digested HN protein and completely digested F protein. The former fused with liposomes, but the latter did not. In the virus treated with chymotrypsin, which lost both hemolysis and neuraminidase activity, F protein was intact, while HN protein was degraded to 15 kDa; in this case the virus fused with liposomes. As the virus with 15-kDa HN protein fused with liposomes and that with 20-kDa protein did not, HN protein does not appear to play any role in virus-liposome fusion. The virus that fused with liposomes had intact F protein. We conclude that Sendai virus-liposome fusion is strongly dependent on the presence of intact F protein, but not HN protein.

Abstract
Previous studies have indicated that in HepG2 cells HDL3-signalling involves glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchored proteins. HDL3-binding to HepG2 cells was found to be enhanced by cellular preincubation with PI-PLC inhibitors and sensitive to a cellular preincubation with exogenous PI-PLC, suggesting that HDL3 binds directly on GPI-anchored proteins to initiate signaling. Moreover HDL3-binding was found to be partly inhibited by antibodies against the HDL-binding protein (AbHBP). HDL3, when binding to HepG2 cells, promoted the release in the culture medium of a 110 kDa protein that binds AbHBP, while a cellular preincubation with antibodies against the inositol-phosphoglycan (IPG) moiety of GPI-anchor (AbIPG), used to block lipolytic cleavage of the GPI-anchor, inhibits HDL3-induced release of the 110 kDa protein in the culture medium. In [3H]-PC prelabeled HepG2 cells, AbHBP were found to stimulate PC-hydrolysis and DAG generation within 5 min as did HDL3 stimulation. Cellular preincubation with AbIPG was found to inhibit only the HDL3-signal and not the AbHBP-signal, while a prior cellular pretreatment with PI-PLC from Bacillus cereus was found to inhibit the HDL3-and AbHBP-signal. Moreover cellular preincubation with AbHBP for 1 h at 37 degrees C was found to inhibit HDL3-signalling pathways. Our results suggest that in HepG2 cells a 110 kDa protein, which could be HBP, can be anchored to the membrane via GPI, and can function in HDL3-signalling pathways as binding sites.

Abstract
Hygromycin B was encapsulated in reconstituted Sendai viral envelopes containing only the fusion (F) protein (F-virosomes). Incubation of loaded F-virosomes with cultured HepG2 cells resulted in fusion mediated delivery of hygromycin B to the cell cytoplasm, as was inferred from inhibition of DNA synthesis. Binding of the F-virosomes to HepG2 cells was mediated by the interaction of terminal beta-galactose residues of fusion protein with asialoglycoprotein receptor on HepG2 cells, subsequently leading to fusion between the two membranes. The cytotoxic effect of hygromycin B enclosed in F-virosomes was comparable with that of F,HN-virosomes containing both hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) and F protein and F,HNred-virosomes containing HN whose disulfide bonds were irreversibly reduced (HNred). Hygromycin B loaded fusogenic liposomes were prepared by coreconstituting the viral envelope containing only fusion protein with exogenous lipids. These fusogenic liposomes were found to be more active than F-virosomes at the same fusion protein concentrations.

Abstract
Reconstituted Sendai virus envelopes containing both the fusion (F) protein and the hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) (F,HN-virosomes) or only the F protein (F-virosomes) were prepared by solubilization of the intact virus with Triton X-100 followed by its removal by using SM2 Bio-Beads. Viral envelopes containing HN whose disulfide bonds were irreversibly reduced (HNred) were also prepared by treating the envelopes with dithiothreitol followed by dialysis (F,HNred-virosomes). Both F-virosomes and F,HNred-virosomes induced hemolysis of erythrocytes in the presence of wheat germ agglutinin, but the rates and extents were markedly lower than those for hemolysis induced by F,HN-virosomes. Using an assay based on the relief of self-quenching of a lipid probe incorporated in the Sendai virus envelopes, we demonstrate the fusion of both F,HN-virosomes and F-virosomes with cultured HepG2 cells containing the asialoglycoprotein receptor, which binds to a terminal galactose moiety of F. By desialylating the HepG2 cells, the entry mediated by HN-terminal sialic acid receptor interactions was bypassed. We show that both F-virosomes and F,HN-virosomes fuse with desialylated HepG2 cells, although the rate was two- to threefold higher if HN was included in the viral envelope. We also observed enhancement of fusion rates when both F and HN envelope proteins were attached to their specific receptors.

Abstract
We have studied the internalization of targeted fusogenic liposome content to leukemic T cells (CEM) in vitro. We describe a method for the covalent coupling of T101 antibody to the surface of liposomes and the incorporation of fusogenic viral protein into the liposome membrane. Hygromycin B, an impermeant inhibitor of protein synthesis, was encapsulated in the targeted fusogenic liposomes and delivered directly to the cytoplasm of leukemic T cells by fusion between the two membranes. The cytotoxic effect was measured by [3H]thymidine incorporation. We show that CEM are rapidly and specifically killed by the drug encapsulated in the targeted fusogenic liposomes. This effect is due to the binding of the liposome by means of the antibody and then to the fusion of the liposome with the targeted cell membrane, mediated by F protein.

Abstract
Viruses are infectious agents capable of packaging and delivering nucleic acids and proteins to specific populations of cells. To initiate infection, viruses bind to sites, or receptors, on the cell surface and transfer their genome across the limiting membrane of the cell. The mechanisms underlying these events, and viral tropism for particular host cells, are becoming increasingly well understood. Several cell surface proteins have now been identified as viral receptors, and analyses of intact virus particles and sub-viral components are revealing the structures of the binding determinants on the viruses themselves. For many viruses, the events leading to penetration and delivery involve constitutive endocytic properties of the host cell, and the low pH environment in endocytic compartments is a crucial trigger in the penetration process. The knowledge of viral tropism, binding and entry suggests strategies which may be applied to the design of targeted therapeutic agents with appropriate specificities and effective delivery mechanisms.

Abstract
New homo- and heterobifunctional cross-linking reagents have been synthesized. These reagents are based on ortho ester, acetal, and ketal functionalities that undergo acid-catalyzed dissociation but are base stable. The protein-reactive group in all the homobifunctional reagents is a maleimide group; the heterobifunctional acetal cross-linker has a maleimide group at one end and an N-hydroxysuccinimide ester at the other. These reagents have been used to cross-link diphtheria toxin (DT) to itself to give covalently cross-linked DT dimer or to conjugate DT monomer to the anti-CD5 antibody, T101. The hydrolysis of these cross-linked proteins was studied as a function of pH. Cleavage rates vary from minutes to hours at the pH of acidified cellular vesicles (approximately pH 5.4), ortho esters being the fastest, acetals the slowest, and ketals intermediate, but the cross-linked products are approximately 100 times more stable at the vascular pH of 7.4 and 1000 times more stable at a storage pH of 8.4 in all cases. The utility of these reagents in the reversible blockade of a toxic protein functional domain was demonstrated by using cross-linked DT dimer where the blocking and unblocking of toxin binding sites correlates with cellular toxicity. Of the different cross-linkers described, the acetone ketal, bis(maleimidoethoxy)propane (BMEP), appears to be the most promising in the construction of highly efficacious immunotoxins.

Abstract
Two chemically labile linkages, disulfide and diester, and two stable linkages, thioether and hydrocarbon, were introduced between antibody and 111In-DTPA in order to modify their biodistributions. The biodistributions of the new linkages were evaluated in rats with target antigens localized in lungs. For a comparison purpose, the antibody-DTPA conjugate with a peptide linkage was used as a control conjugate. The antibody conjugates with the stable linkages produced the biodistributions similar to that of the peptide linked conjugate during a 48 h period. The disulfide and diester conjugates, however, cleared from blood much faster and are retained in normal organs much lower than the peptide conjugate. The disulfide and the diester conjugate amplified the lung (target) to blood ratio by 15 and 6 times, respectively at 48 h, as compared to the corresponding target to blood ratio of the control conjugate. Compared to the control conjugate, a 3 times higher target to liver ratio was also obtained by the disulfide conjugate and a 4 times higher target to kidney ratio was obtained by the diester conjugate at 48 h.

Abstract
Reconstituted influenza virus envelopes were obtained following solubilization of intact virions with Triton X-100. Quantitative determination revealed that the hemolytic and fusogenic activities of the envelopes prepared by the present method were close or identical to those expressed by intact virions. Hemolysis as well as virus-membrane fusion occurred only at low pH values, while both activities were negligible at neutral pH values. Fusion of intact virions as well as reconstituted envelopes with erythrocyte membranes--and also with liposomes--was determined by the use of fluorescently labeled viral envelopes and fluorescence dequenching measurements. Fusion with liposomes did not require the presence of specific virus receptors, namely sialoglycolipids. Under hypotonic conditions, influenza virions or their reconstituted envelopes were able to fuse with erythrocyte membranes from which virus receptors had been removed by treatment with neuraminidase and pronase. Inactivated intact virions or reconstituted envelopes, namely, envelopes treated with hydroxylamine or glutaraldehyde or incubated at low pH or 85 degrees C, neither caused hemolysis nor possessed fusogenic activity. Fluorescence dequenching measurements showed that only fusion with liposomes composed of neutral phospholipids and containing cholesterol reflected the viral fusogenic activity needed for infection.

Abstract
Insulin molecules were covalently attached to detergent-solubilized Sendai virus envelope glycoproteins (HN and F polypeptides) by the use of the crosslinking reagent succinimidyl 4-(p-maleimidophenyl)butyrate (SMPB). Reconstitution of modified viral glycoproteins (carrying covalently attached insulin) together with unmodified viral glycoproteins resulted in the formation of "fusogenic" viral envelopes bearing insulin molecules. Reconstitution of such fusogenic viral envelopes in the presence of ricin A or simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA resulted in the formation of viral envelopes bearing insulin molecules and loaded with ricin A or SV40 DNA. Such viral envelopes were able to bind to hepatoma tissue culture cells (HTCC) from which Sendai virus receptors were removed by treatment with neuraminidase. Incubation of viral envelopes loaded with ricin A with virus receptor-depleted HTCC resulted in fusion-mediated injection of the toxin, as inferred from inhibition of protein synthesis and decrease in cell viability of the microinjected cells. Fusion-mediated injection of SV40 DNA was inferred from the appearance of SV40 tumor antigen in microinjected cells. Binding and fusion of the loaded viral envelopes to neuraminidase-treated HTCC was mediated solely by the virus-associated insulin molecules. Addition of free insulin molecules inhibited binding of the viral envelopes and, consequently, the microinjection of ricin A and SV40 DNA.
