TABLE 5.

liposome classification according to composition constituents.

Types Feature
Conventional liposome Spontaneously self-assembled phospholipids (Neutral/negative charge) in an aqueous medium. The fabricated liposomes have surrounded an aqueous medium (Zhao et al., 2005; Zaru et al., 2007; Meure et al., 2008)
Fusogenic liposome (FL) The liposomal system is based on reconstitute Sendai virus (Nakanishi et al., 2000; Kunisawa et al., 2005)
Cationic liposome Liposomes containing the cationic lipid (Dokka et al., 2000; Radwan Almofti et al., 2003; Sioud and Sørensen, 2003)
Long circulatory liposome The obtained products can improve tissues localization. These types of liposomes are liposomes with neutral high transition temperature (Moghimi et al., 2001; Awasthi et al., 2003; Metselaar et al., 2003; Moghimi and Szebeni, 2003)
P.H. sensitive liposome These liposomes usually contain phosphatidylethanolamine (P.E.) and titratable stabilizing amphiphiles that become unstable under acidic conditions (Simões et al., 2004)
Immunoliposome Long-circulating liposomes that may contain monoclonal antibodies or their fragments (Fab ') (Park et al., 2004; Hua, 2013)
