title: [Preliminary data on the protective effect of interferon coupled with liposomes in the mouse-virus model of murine hepatitis].
abstract: In MHV3-infected Balb/c mice the antiviral effect of murine interferon could be significantly enhanced by way of entrapment in cationic liposomes; these multi-lamellar spherules, made of egg lecithin, stearylamine and cholesterol, are supposed to exert a target effect leading to a greater accumulation of interferon in the liver and spleen. The possible use of liposomes as vectors of interferon in different viral pathologies is discussed.
