Biodegradable microspheres deliver time release vaccines, stimulate different immune response
A new vaccine delivery system using microspheres of a biodegradable polymer may not only reduce the need for booster shots in some cases, but also appears to stimulate an immune response that traditional vaccines do not. Researchers from Iowa State University report their findings today at the ASM Biodefense and Emerging Disease Research Meeting. "Current vaccines are good at producing an...BlockAid blocking solution *for use with microspheres* from Molecular Probes (Invitrogen)
Description:Molecular Probes intensely fluorescent and highly photostable FluoSpheres microspheres have enormous potential for use in a variety of applications requiring probes that can deliver a strong signal. Unfortunately, protein- and other macromolecule-labeled microspheres have hydrophobic regions that may cause them to bind to non-target surfaces in some applications. This nonspecific binding can be r...Radiesse Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) Microspheres
Description:Radiesse brings you into the new age of non-surgical facial contouring materials. You can now offer your patients immediate, long-term results for various applications with exceptional safety and flexibility. This injectable filler offers superior versatility for a wide variety of non-surgical cosmetic and reconstructive treatments. Long-lasting, Radiesse saves time and money for both you and you...Artecoll Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) Microspheres
Description:Artecoll consists of homegeneous polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) microspheres, evenly suspended in a solution of partly denatured 3.5% collagen. All microspheres are in a range of 32-40 microns in size, are completely round and have polymerized, smooth surfaces. 99.9% of the remaining monomers have been removed during the processing of the PMMA. Artecoll contains an average concentration of 0.3...
