The lymphatics are a target for a range of therapeutic purposes, including cancer therapy and vaccination and both vesicle size and charge have been considered as factors controlling lymphatic targeting. Within this work, a range of liposomal formulations were investigated to develop a liposomal lymphatic targeting system. Initial screening of formulations considered the effect of charge, with neutral, cationic and anionic liposomes being considered. Biodistribution studies demonstrated that after intramuscular injection, anionic liposomes offered the most rapid clearance to the draining lymphatics with cationic liposomes forming a depot at the injection site. Anionic liposomes containing phosphatidylserine showed higher clearance to the lymphatics and this may be a results of preferential uptake by macrophages. In terms of vesicle size, smaller unilamellar vesicles gave high lymphatic targeting and 10-fold increases in concentration were achieved in dose escalation studies (up to 40 mg of lipids). Given that effective trafficking to the lymphatics was achieved, the next step was to enhance retention of the liposomes within the lymphatics, therefore this liposome formulation was combined with an avidin/biotin complex mechanism. The affinity of avidin for biotin allows biotinylated liposomes to complex in the presence of avidin. By pre-dosing with avidin, this biotin-avidin complex can be exploited to promote longer retention of the liposomes at the draining lymphatics. To load these small, biotinylated liposomes with protein, microfluidics manufacturing was used. Using microfluidics, protein could easily be incorporated in these small (~90 nm) biotinylated liposomes. Both liposome and protein retention at the local draining lymph nodes was demonstrated with the liposome-biotin-avidin system. These results demonstrate that microfluidics can be used to prepare protein-loaded liposomes that offer enhanced lymphatic targeting and retention of both the liposomes and entrapped antigen.
