  • Tissue entrapment
    Publication number: 20020009488
    Abstract: Delivery of diagnostic and therapeutic agents to skin or solid tumours is improved by optimisation of the lipid containing macromolecular structures (eg liposomes) encapsulating the agents and the type and amount of hydrophilic moieties bound to the exterior of the macromolecular structures as well as the relative proportions of the various lipids or other hydrophobic entities forming the macromolecular structures.

    Inventor: Derek Fisher
  • Process for fractionating polyethylene glycol (PEG)-protein adducts and an adduct of PEG and granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor
    Patent number: 5880255
    Abstract: The invention relates to fractionating a mixture of polyethylene glycol (PEG)-protein adducts having different degrees of PEG substitution by partitioning the PEG-protein adducts in a PEG-containing aqueous biphasic system according to the degree of PEG substitution. A new PEG-gm-CSF obtained by the process is useful in pharmaceutical compositions for use in therapeutic or diagnostic methods.
