Abstract excerpt
Biodegradable microparticles (MP) represent a promising and efficient delivery system for parenteral vaccination. Recently, MP have also been explored as tool for the ex vivo antigen loading of professional antigen-presenting cells such as dendritic cells (DC) to be used as cellular vaccines. The purpose of this study was to investigate various polycationic coatings on poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) MP, with...
