DENDRITIC PIC MICELLES WITH BIOACTIVE PROTEINS

摘要

A polyion Complex (PIC) polymeric micelle is formed by interaction between a bioactive protein and a dendritic block copolymer of opposite charge. The conventional low stability of PIC micelles with bioactive proteins vis-à-vis ionic strength is offset by the stability provided by the dendritic block. The overall process for preparing the micelles is facilitated by the simplicity of the drendritic block copolymer synthesis.
