Fabrication of Polymethyl Methacrylate Microspheres for Improving Immunogenicity of Tetanus Toxoid
The polymer’s slow hydrolysis facilitates the sustained release of the immunogen, stabilizing the antigen encapsulated within the microspheres. As a result, microspheres ranging from 40 µm to 70 µm in diameter can be formed. This innovative microsphere formulation allows for efficient uptake by macrophages and other antigen-presenting cells. This study aimed to use biocompatible polymethyl methacrylate microspheres for the controlled delivery of antigens.
