1. An aqueous liposome dispersion comprising:
liposomes comprising 1,2-di-(9Z-octadecenoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DOPE) and at least one cationic lipid selected from the group consisting of 1,2-di-O-octadecenyl-3-trimethylammoniumpropane (DOTMA) and 1,2-dioleoyl-3-trimethylammoniumpropane (DOTAP), and
at least one pH adjusting agent comprising an acid or an acidic buffer;
wherein:
a molar ratio of the at least one cationic lipid to DOPE is from about 1:4 to about 4:1; and
the pH of the aqueous liposome dispersion is from about 2 to about 5.5.
