Date Jun. 25, 1992.Liposome vesicles are prepared containing water or very dilute solutions encapsulated therein. These "empty" liposomes are suspended in a carrier liquid containing, dispersed therein, substances of interest to be loaded into the vesicles and incubated for a period of time at temperatures above the lipids transition temperature, whereby loading by transmembrane permeation occurs in high yields.
