Immunoliposome-Mediated Delivery of Chemotherapeutics

  • Chapter
From Clone to Clinic

Abstract

One of the tools presently under investigation to achieve site specific drug delivery is the combination of drug-containing liposomes and antibodies (so-called immunoliposomes). The potentials and limitations of this form of targeted chemotherapy are discussed, followed by an example of the use of drug-loaded immunoliposomes in the intracavitary therapy of ovarian carcinoma.
