| Description: | Mesoporphyrin IX (dihydrochloride) is a photosensitizer that can be used to modify liposomes. Mesoporphyrin IX (dihydrochloride) can insert into lipid vesicles and disrupt the viral membrane structure in vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), inducing cross-linking of VSV glycoproteins, thereby inhibiting viral activity. |
| Stability and Solubility Advice: | Information concerning product stability, particularly in solution, has rarely been reported and in most cases we can only offer a general guide. We recommend that stock solutions, once prepared, are stored aliquoted in tightly sealed vials and used within 1 month. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles. Storage conditions for some special products should refer to their storage details. |
