<p>The subject invention provides liposome formulations that are capable of specifically targeting cell types. The subject invention also provides for the encapsulation of new chemical entities (NCE) or other drug candidate molecules (DCM) within liposomes that specifically target a particular cell type. The subject invention, advantageously, solubilizes compounds, with low solubility in aqueous environments, and permits screening of these compounds against intact cells for biological activity in the absence of detergents that can damage cell membranes. Also provided are methods of preparing liposome formulations that target a specific cell type and methods of delivering therapeutic agents to target cells.</p> |
