1. A method for incorporating active substantially purified natural or recombinant tissue factor into a lipid bilayer of phospholipid liposomes comprising the steps of:
- (a) co-solubilizing purified phospholipids, substantially purified tissue factor, and carrier proteins with detergent and cryopreservative agent and thereby causing formation of mixed micelles of phospholipids, tissue factor, carrier proteins, detergent and cryopreservative agent;
(b) removing detergent and thereby causing the micelles to form liposomes; and
(c) adding cadmium salt.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates to novel liposome compositions in which tissue factor is incorporated and methods for their preparation. The composition of the phospholipids in the liposomes has been adjusted to allow maximum coagulant activity and sensitivity to extrinsic coagulation factors of the incorporated tissue factor.
