DISCRETE SIZE AND SHAPE SPECIFIC ORGANIC NANOPARTICLES DESIGNED TO ELICIT AN IMMUNE RESPONSE

摘要

The presently disclosed invention is broadly directed to therapeutic micro- and/or nanoparticles designed to target an immune cell with an active agent. More particularly, the particles have a predetermined geometry and a broadest dimension of less than about 10 µm. The immune cell-targeted micro and/or nanoparticles may additionally comprise a biocompatible polymer.
