[Liposomes as carriers of polyfunctional immunogens].
Liposomes are promising carriers for construction of the up-to-date chemical vaccinal preparations. The immunogenic and immunomodulating properties of liposomes may be varied by incorporation of the natural or synthetic immunomodulators into the inner water volume or into the lipid bilayer parallel with antigens as well as by introduction of the receptor-specific vector to definite types of immunocompetent cells into liposomes. The pronounced immunobiological properties of the liposomal carrier are shown in studies of liposomes conjugated with haptens or model protein antigens. The application of liposomes as carriers of bacterial antigens induces a delayed catabolism of the antigen and formation of its depot. The immunomodulating properties of antigen-containing liposomes rise after introduction of such immunomodulators as lipid A, muramyldipeptide or interleukin-1 into the liposome composition.
