Abstract
Antibodies to tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) have been successful in treating perianal fistulae in Crohn's disease, but current modes of delivery are limited. Microspheres are currently being assessed as scaffolds for tissue engineering and drug delivery devices. The aim of this study was to produce anti-TNF-α antibody-encapsulated microspheres using thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) and to characterize their behavior.
