title: Cell penetration by exogenous superoxide dismutase.
abstract: The fixation and penetration of liposomal encapsulated dismutase (SOD) with human erythrocytes and other eucaryote cells is described. Such preparations not only facilitate fixation and penetration of the enzyme as a function of liposome composition, but also confer an increased physiological life time as well as a marked organ specificity. Such packed SOD could be useful for a pharmacological application of the enzyme.
