Control for Clophosome®-N(Neutral)

Plain Control Liposomes for Clophosome®-N (Neutral). This product of empty liposomes are made to match the physical and chemical attributes of Clophosome®-N without the active clodronate encapsulated. It should be used as a negative control for macrophage depletion studies.
