Our latest contribution to Science “Bilayer polymeric nanocapsules: A formulation approach for a thermostable and adjuvanted E. coli antigen vaccine” is now published by the Journal of Controlled Release
July 20, 2018This paper describes a new bilayer nanosystem that entraps IutA antigen from E. Coli in a sandwich-like structure. The research not only opens a new path to develop a vaccine against UPEC infections but also represents a general way of stabilizing and controlling the release of purified protein antigens.
