A hydrated lecithin carrier vesicle composition includes a lecithin-derived membrane-forming lipid vesicle in conditioned water for incorporation of an active ingredient to form a dispersed composition. A method of making the hydrated lecithin carrier vesicle includes using lecithin having not more than about 80% w/w phosphatidylcholine in the presence of conditioned water.

Disclosed are compositions and methods useful for targeting and internalizing molecules into cells of interest and for penetration by molecules of tissues of interest. The compositions and methods are based on peptide sequences that are selectively internalized by a cell, penetrate tissue, or both. The disclosed internalization and tissue penetration is useful for delivering therapeutic and detectable agents to cells and tissues of interest.

In one embodiment the invention provides a capsule for the oral administration of biopharmaceuticals to the gastrointestinal system. The capsule includes a capsule shell enveloping a lipophilic matrix permeated with discrete microcapsules. Each microcapsule is a hydrophilic matrix formed of an internal phase comprising an aqueous medium, stabilized into a discrete structure by a colloidal polymer, and containing the biopharmaceutical(s). The colloidal polymer typically is a hydrocolloid or an amphiphilic colloidal polymer.
