@article{Ko2006PreparationOS, title={Preparation of sub-100-nm beta-lactoglobulin (BLG) nanoparticles.}, author={Sanghoon Ko and Sundaram Gunasekaran}, journal={Journal of microencapsulation}, year={2006}, volume={23 8}, pages={ 887-98 } }
Sub-100-nm nanoparticles were prepared from beta-lactoglobulin (BLG) with a narrow size distribution by a desolvation method using glutaraldehyde for cross-linking. With pre-heating of the BLG solution to 60 degrees C and subsequent pH readjustment to 9.0, nanoparticles of 59 +/- 5 nm were obtained with improved uniformity. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) nanoparticles, prepared under similar conditions for comparison, were larger and less uniform. The half-width of 80% particle distribution was…

Albendazole loaded albumin nanoparticles for ovarian cancer therapy
- Biology, Chemistry
- 2014
Albendazole is formulated into albumin nanoparticles with a size range of 200–300 nm, which were cross-linked with glutaraldehyde to stabilize the nanoparticles and to introduce pH-responsive features and results suggest that these album in nanoparticles may hold great potentials as ABZ carriers for cancer therapy.
