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