Abstract

We are exploring the use of poly(lactic/glycolic acid) (PLGA) microspheres as immunization vehicles for synthetic peptides. In the present paper we report our study on the feasibility of PLGA microspheres as immunization vehicles, to increase the immunogenicity of subunit peptides such as malaria peptide (TB) (8) and tetanus toxoid (TT).
