A rapid and simple method is described for the incorporation of monoclonal antibody coupled with palmitic acid into liposomes prepared by the reverse-phase evaporation method (Szoka, F. and Papahadjopoulos, D. (1978) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 75, 4194-4198). Palmitoyl antibody in 0.15% deoxycholate is added to a liposome suspension after the majority of the organic solvent has been removed by evaporation. Efficient incorporation (over 80%) of palmitoyl antibody occurred without leakage of the encapsulated drug. Native, unmodified antibody did not incorporate under identical conditions. About 50% of the incorporated antibodies could be readily digested by protease, while most of an internal protein marker was not, suggesting that about half of the antibodies were exposed on the outer surfaces of liposomes. Target-specific binding of antibody-liposomes has also been demonstrated in vitro with the RDM-4 lymphoma cells. This method offers a rapid and highly efficient attachment of functional antibody molecules to liposomes with high capture efficiency of drugs, and therefore should be useful in target-specific delivery of drugs mediated by liposomes.
