I have, I must confess, looked upon this appeal, ad misericordiam, with much suspicion, believing the writer, did he not in his own heart believe himself particularly well-fitted for the work, would not have undertaken it.

Preparation 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...
