13. We observed no GVs at the very beginning, as LUVs were introduced into the microscopy cell.
14. All commercially obtained cover glasses showed that the same effect of oleic/sodium oleate GV formation from LUV suspsensions. The glasses were used promptly after purchase, and care was taken to prevent possible comtamination from the laboratory environment.
15. Addition of EDTA to the vesicle suspensions did not inhibit the GV formation, if commercially obtained cover glasses were used without an extensive cleaning procedure. This indicates that divalent cations such as calcium or magnesium are not involved in the GV formation process.
