Interaction of Liposomes with Cells: Model Studies

  • Chapter
Targeting of Drugs

Part of the book series: NATO Advanced Study Institutes Series ((NSSA,volume 47))

  • 60 Accesses

Abstract

It is well documented to date that the mode of interaction of a given cell type with liposomes is affected by the chemical composition of the latter. Thus, it has been shown that “fluidity”, charge and size of the vesicles are important parameters in determining the mechanism by which liposomes interact with their target cells.1
