Abstract

A method of extracting a compound specifically bound by a ligand from a crude solution containing the compound is disclosed. The method comprises providing a multiplicity of liposomes having the ligand bound to the surface thereof, and mixing the liposomes with the crude solution so that the ligand binds to the compound to be extracted. The liposomes are then separated from the crude solution and the compound to be extracted recovered from the liposomes.
