Abstract
A method of treating a subject having a disorder characterized by a neoplasm of B-lymphocyte or T-lymphocyte lineage cells is described. The method includes administering a suspension of liposomes having a surface coating of polyethylene glycol chains. Attached to the distal ends of the chains are antibodies or antibody fragments effective to bind to an antigen specific to the affected cells. In one embodiment, anti-CD19 antibodies are attached to the liposome-bound chains, for treatment of multiple myeloma.
