In recent years, the use of biomaterial as vaccine adjuvants has received considerable interest in oral and parenteral vaccine development. They have been formulated to elicit either mucosal or humoral immxmity via targeted phagocytosis in the Peyer s patches or as conventional subcutaneous depots. Golembek et al. were one of the first groups to apply microspheres for tumor immxmotherapy. GM-CSF or IFN-y was encapsulated in gelatin-chondroitin sulfate microspheres and mixed with irradiated B16/F10...
