Abstract

The effect of surface coupled antigens of liposomes on the immunological response has been investigated. Lysozyme was covalently coupled to neutral and positively charged liposomes using glutaraldehyde. Subcutaneous administration of these preparations stimulated a significant antibody response higher than that elicited by the antigen entrapped in neutral liposomes. Immunization by liposomal antigens together with complete Freund's adjuvant resulted in strong immune responses, highest with the antigen coupled to neutral and positively charged liposomes followed by the antigen entrapped in neutral liposomes. Primary and secondary immunization with lysozyme, both entrapped and coupled to liposomes, evoked an IgG response.
