Comparison of chitosan nanoparticles and chitosan hydrogels for vaccine delivery

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 2008
Abstract In this work the potential of chitosan nanoparticles (CNP) and thermosensitive chitosan hydrogels as particulate and sustained release vaccine delivery systems was investigated. CNP and chitosan hydrogels were prepared, loaded with the model protein antigen ovalbumin (OVA) and characterised.
