FUSOGENIC LIPOSOMES AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME

摘要

* Phospholipid vesicles (liposomes) containing a quaternary ammonium hydroxide salt in the membranes of the vesicles are described. The phospholipid vesicles containing the quaternary ammonium hydroxide salt in the vesicle membranes, in addition to their ability to attach to cells, will fuse with a cell membrane and induce cell to cell fusion, providing a convenient way of transferring a material such as a drug into a cell.
