Reduction of liposome-induced adverse physiological reactions
First Claim
1. A method reducing a blood pressure decrease associated with administration of a liposome to an animal which comprises incorporating a surface agent-modifying lipid which is a phosphatidylethanolamine conjugated to a dicarboxylic acid into a liposome such that the surface agent-modifying lipid comprises at least about 10 mole percent of the liposome'"'"'s bilayer and administering the liposome to the animal, wherein the liposome has an average diameter of from about 200 nm to about 5000 nm.

Abstract
Provided herein is a method of administering a liposome composition to an animal, the method involving adminstering to the animal a liposome composition containing an adverse physiological reaction-reducing effective amount of a liposome which has, in addition to a bioactive agent, a lipid bilayer containing a lipid and a surface agent-modified molecule. An adverse physiological reaction which may be experienced by the animal upon administration of a liposome composition is reduced by way of the presence of the surface agent-modified molecule in the liposome'"'"'s lipid bilayer.
