Abstract
The present invention pertains to the nanoencapsulation of siRNA and other biologics in phospholipid nanosomes for the improved delivery of siRNA and other biologics to targeted diseased human or animal organs and human or animal cells and apparatus and methods for making the same. In embodiments of the present invention, novel siRNAs were designed to down regulate CCR5 and CD4, based on an analysis of all known alternative transcripts for each gene from both human and monkey () genomes. Embodiments of the present invention feature supercritical, critical and near critical fluids. Embodiments of the present invention also pertain to down regulation of CXCR4 receptor and targeting of nanosomes containing specific siRNA sequences to cells expressing those receptors on the cell surface by coating them with specific ligands. These include ligands for the receptors CCR5, CD4 and CXCR4.
