Abstract
The present invention is directed to a liposomal preparation which is based on specific lipid components. The liposomal compounds are also combined with nucleic acids, forming nucleic acid-liposomal compounds. These compounds are useful in drug delivery, where specific therapeutic nucleic acids are used in the liposomes. The specific lipid components of the present invention provide a highly efficient and stable delivery system for nucleic acids. Consequently, the liposomal preparations are suitable for use in gene therapy.
