Abstract
This invention provides methods and compositions for localized delivery of IL-12 to a desired site. The composition comprises liposomes carrying IL-12. The liposomes comprise phosphatidyl choline, phosphatidyl glycerol and cholesterol. The size and composition of the liposomes is such that there is minimal leakage into the systemic circulation. These compositions can be used for delivery of IL-12 to selected sites such as tumors.
