Abstract
The release of entrapped 5(6)-carboxyfluorescein from fluorinated vesi cles in a buffer or in human serum is considerably less than that from hydrogenated liposomes. The presence of a fluorinated core inside the liposomal membrane definitely reduces its permeability. In some cases , the stability of liposomes made from fluorinated phospholipids alone is better than that of egg phosphatidylcholine cholesterol 1/1 vesicl es, which are among the least permeable and most stable hydrogenated l iposomes.
