Abstract
This research focuses on biodegradable poly(esters) as potential carriers of recombinant proteins for vaccine use. Initial experiments confirm previous studies that a wide variety of matrix life-times can be obtained by altering the monomer composition of the poly(ester) and its molecular weight. Studies on the change in properties of poly(lactide:glycolide, 50:50) during biodegradation have been performed and the in vitro release of protein from poly(ester) microspheres has been examined.
