Abstract
New emulsion and micelle formulations are described as are complexes of these formulations with biologically active substances. The novel formulations are different from cationic lipid vectors such as cationic liposomes in that the complexes formed between biologically active substances and the emulsion and micellar formulations of this invention are physically stable and their transfection activity is resistant to the presence of serum. These novel formulations are disclosed to be useful in areas such as gene therapy or vaccine delivery.
