Abstract
The interaction between human phagocytes and glycophorin-reconstituted liposomes was investigated from the view point of internalization efficiency of the liposome by phagocytes. The glycophorin-reconstituted liposome was found to be rejected by phagocytes in the internalization. When the sialic acid residues of glycophorin were partly eliminated by neuraminidase, however, the cell uptake increased about two times.Keywords
