We describe a liposome formulation characterized by sensitivity to concurrent and small temperature and pH changes. Liposome permeability was assessed by monitoring the release of entrapped carboxyfluorescein (CF), using a fluorescence dequenching technique. The thermotropic behavior of the liposome
Polymeric microparticles were fabricated from Carbopol, polycarbophil, chitosan, or Gantrez using a "water-in-oil emulsification" solvent evaporation method. Mean particle sizes, as determined by laser diffraction, were in the range 23-38 microm. Electron microscopy revealed that all microparticles
