PLGA Microspheres Phagocytosis by Pig Alveolar Macrophages: Influence of Polyvinyl alcohol) Concentration, Nature of Loaded-Protein and Copolymer Nature

Abstract

The study aimed to investigate on a pig alveolar macrophage culture model the influence of: (1) poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) characteristics, (2) the residual poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and (3) the nature of encapsulated proteins, immunoglobulin Y (IgY) or bovine serum albumin, on the microspheres phagocytosis efficiency. The phagocytosis evaluation was performed by flow cytometry and has allowed a screening of microspheres formulations. The hydrophilicity of microspheres resulting from the nature of the polymer and/ or from the residual hydrophilic surface agent (PVA) led to a decrease of phagocytosis intensity. The phagocytosis results of IgY-loaded microspheres strongly suggested that the phagocytosis was increased when the phagocytic cell possessed a receptor for this protein on its surface.

Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Particle structures smaller than 5 μm are taken up by APCs such as dendritic cells and macrophages and transported directly to the lymph node, where encapsulated antigen can be presented to T cells.

    “Particle structures smaller than 5 μm are taken up by APCs, such as dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages [59–61], and are transported directly to the lymph node [58], where the encapsulated antigen can be presented to T cells.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
