| Title: | Synthetic liposomes for enhanced uptake and delivery |
| Publication Type: | United States Utility Patent |
| Publication Date: | Apr 30, 1996 |
| Filing Date: | Nov 10, 1994 |
| Inventors: | Kornberg Arthur, Castuma Celina |
| Assignee: | The Board Of Trustees Of The Leland Stanford Junior University |
| Abstract: | Liposomes are prepared comprising a polyhydroxybutyrate calcium polyphosphate complex which provides for uptake of a desired component, particularly nucleotides and nucleic acids. The charged species may be introduced into the lumen of a liposome by incubating liposomes with a solution of the component of interest for sufficient time to provide for introduction of the component into the lumen of the liposome, followed by washing at diminished temperatures. The resulting liposomes may then be used as vehicles for delivery of the lumen component. |

| Inventors: | Kornberg Arthur |
| Assignee: | Kornberg Arthur |
| Abstract: | Methods and compositions are provided for treating a host suffering from a disease associated with the presence of a pathogenic microorganism. In the subject methods, a pharmaceutical formulation comprising an agent that at least reduces the amount of polyphosphate in said microorganism is administered to said host. The subject methods and compositions find use in the treatment of a variety of disease conditions. |
