Abstract
A method is provided for preparing small (less than 2000 .ANG.) lipid vesicles in commercial quantities by microemulsifying lipid compositions using very high shear forces generated in a homogenizing apparatus operated at high pressures at a selected temperature. These vesicles are suitable for various biological applications including targeting of tumors in a body for diagnosis and treatment.
