<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem wherein a method of applying prophylatic vaccine of infectious disease, cancer peptide for cancer treatment, or the like to a therapeutic member with micro projecting needles of about 10-100 μm in height arranged in plane shape and pressing it to the skin for percolation of medicine is used as immunotherapy by percutaneous transport of vaccine or the like, but medicine applied to a needle surface does not percolate the body well because of being taken off by the skin under the influence of frictional contact between the skin and the needle in a process of inserting the needle into the skin. <P>SOLUTION: A carbon nanotube of hollow structure is used as the micro protrusion-like needle 2 of about 10-100 μm in height. The medicine on the surface is not therefore taken off by the skin in the process of inserting the needle into the skin. Further, in combination with a method of stripping a corneal layer prior to pressing the therapeutic member to the skin, uniform percolation of medicine can always be performed. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
