متن کاملPreparation and in-vitro evaluation of sodium alginate microspheres containing diphtheria toxoid as new vaccine delivery
During last two decades, polysaccharides such as alginate (Alg) alone and in combination with other biopolymers are widely used in vaccine and drug delivery systems. The aim of the present work was to investigate the potential utility of microparticles made of alginate (Alg) as new vehicles for improving nasal vaccine delivery. For this purpose, diphtheria toxoid (DT) was chosen as a model an...

متن کاملPreparation and Evaluation of Diphtheria Toxoid-Containing Microspheres
Preparation of chitosan (CS) microspheres as a novel drug delivery vehicle for intranasal immunization using high, medium and low CS molecular weight (MW) was investigated in this study. Diphtheria toxoid (DT) was used as a model antigen. The emulsion-solidification method was adopted for microencapsulation of DT. In the first step, following the purification of semi-crude DT by the ion-exchan...
