Recently there has been a growing interest in phospholipid vesicles (liposomes) not only as model membranes but also as carriers of drugs and as a tool for the introduction of various substances into cells or in the whole animal [l-3]. At least 5 different methods have been developed for preparation of liposomes. Ultrasonic irradiation leads to the formation of small (-250 a diam.) unilamellar vesicles (WV)[4-61, Vesicles of a similar average size are formed when aqueous mixed dispersions of phospholipids and bile salts are passed through a Sephadex G-50 column [7].Dialysis of detergents from phospholipid-detergent dispersions constitute another method for the preparation of vesicles. This procedure, which leads to the formation of heterogeneous population of liposomes with av,-1200 8, diam. is especially suitable for reconstitution experiments in which proteins are included in the formed large unilamellar vesicles (LUV)[%-IO]. Even larger vesicles are formed when mixtures of lipids in organic solvents are injected into heated aqueous solutions [1 l-131; the size of these liposomes indeed depends on the solvent, rate of injection and temperature of the aqueous solution. Very large vesicles (-1 pm diam.) are formed when etheric 12 or petroletheric [131 solutions of phospholipids are injected into aqueous solutions at 70 C. Liposomes of similar sizes are also obtained from phosphatidylserine (P’s) containing SUV when they
