Use in Vaccination and Immunization
Advantages of the Encapsulation technology
– Protein-based vaccine can be formulated as capsules containing encapsulated
antigen.
– Capsule size varies from 200nm to 10 microns to facilitate cellular uptake
by phagocites
– Defined amount of antigen per capsule
– Sustain release of antigen, designed degradation of capsules
– Combined Encapsulation of vaccine proteins with adjuvant and other components
in the same capsules that provides simultaneous release of all active ingredients
