These 30 um diameter amino-modified microparticles are manufactured from polylactide*, a biodegradable, thermoplastic, aliphatic polyester derived from renewable resources such as corn starch or sugarcane. Recent research has shown promise in the use of these microparticles for drug transport and delivery and for enhancing the immune response when combined with antigen.
Biodegradable microparticles are stable at neutral pH for at least three months. Degradation can be triggered by exposing the particles to a basic or acidic pH or by enzymatic hydrolysis.
