Abstract
A procedure for coupling liposomes to a target specific macromolecular species, anticanine cardiac myosin antibodies, was developed. The anticanine cardiac myosin antibodies covalently coupled to liposomes were shown to retain the specific antibody activity in vitro for the homologous radioiodinated antigen. Radioisotopes can be transported inside such liposome-antibody complexes and were shown experimentally to localize in acute canine myocardial infarction. This new method of coupling of liposome to target-specific agents could provide a novel and highly specific means of transporting radioisotopes or pharmaceuticals protected within the liposomes to selected target organs.
