These liposome compositions anchor. The liposome used in the method of this invention can be used to encapsulate bioactive agents. typically has a diameter of from about 200 nm to about 5000 Liposomes are completely closed lipid bilayer mem 15 nm, more preferably, from about 400 nm to about 5000 nm, branes containing an entrapped aqueous volume. The bilayer and most preferably, presently, from about 400 nm to about is composed of lipid molecules which comprise monolayers 1000 nm. Liposomes having such diameters are preferably having a hydrophobic region and a hydrophilic region. The interdigitation-fusion liposomes (IFVs), but can also be structure of the bilayer is such that the hydrophobic large unilamellar liposomes (LUVs) or multilamellar lipo (nonpolar) acyl chain region of the lipid monolayers orient somes (MLVs). The concentration of the surface agent toward the center of the bilayer while the hydrophilic (polar) modified molecule in the bilayer is typically at least about 2 lipid headgroups orient towards the aqueous phase. mole %, more preferably at least about 5 mole %, and most In a liposome-drug delivery system, a bioactive agent preferably at least about 10 mole %. Preferably, the adverse such as a drug is entrapped in the liposome and then physiological reaction-reducing effective amount of the administered to the patient to be treated (Rahman et al., U.S. 25 liposome is about 50 mg of the liposome per kg of the Pat.
