Microparticulate Systems for the Delivery of Proteins and Vaccines (Drugs and the Pharmaceutical Sciences Book 77)

Ben-Gurion University, Beer-Sheva, Israel. Review of recent advances in the field, for students and clinicians in the pharmaceutical sciences. Covers controlled-release systems, protein encapsulation, and stabilization. 36 contributors, 18 U.S. "This practical guide offers concise coverage of the scientific and pharmaceutical aspects of protein delivery from controlled-release microparticulate systems - emphasizing protein stability during encapsulation and release." "Addressing the potential causes of protein inactivation, Microparticulate Systems for the Delivery of Proteins and Vaccines describes microencapsulation techniques...highlights new encapsulation methods that involve no organic solvents...examines protein structures that are at risk during microencapsulation and release from microspheres...offers experimental approaches to protein stabilization...discusses nanoparticles and liposomes for targeted and topical delivery...stresses the pharmaceutical applications of microparticulate carriers...focuses on vaccine delivery and cancer immunotheraphy...and much more." "Written by over 35 international experts from industry and academia representing distinguished institutions in seven countries, Microparticulate Systems for the Delivery of Proteins and Vaccines is an indispensable reference for industrial, clinical, and research pharmacists; chemical engineers; bioprocess technologists; protein, polymer, physical, medicinal, and pharmaceutical chemists and biochemists; pharmacologists; biotechnologists; and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these desciplines."--BOOK JACKET Modern headlights are able to project any desired symbol directly onto the street. Feasible applications are driver assistance, information or communication with other traffic participants. Besides all the possibilities the risk of distraction can't be neglected. The present work offers a way to operationalize and quantify this risk. Based on this evaluation a possible homologation can be determined This practical guide offers concise coverage of the scientific and pharmaceutical aspects of protein delivery from controlled release microparticulate systems-emphasizing protein stability during encapsulation and release.
