Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a method for producing particles including: preparing a dispersion liquid with Liquid A and Liquid B, where Liquid A is a solution containing a physiologically active substance, and Liquid B is a solution containing a base material and a surfactant; and forming particles from the dispersion liquid.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for producing particles, the method comprising: preparing a dispersion liquid with Liquid A and Liquid B, where Liquid A is a solution comprising a physiologically active substance, and Liquid B is a solution comprising a base material and a surfactant; and forming particles from the dispersion liquid, wherein the surfactant comprises sorbitan sesquioleate, the base material comprises a biodegradable resin which comprises at least one resin selected from the group consisting of polylactic acid and a polylactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer, the physiologically active substance is an antibody, and the particles are sustained-release particles. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the dispersion liquid is a W/O emulsion. 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance of the surfactant is 1 or greater but 8 or less. 4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the hydrophilic-lipophilic balance of the surfactant is 3 or greater but 6 or less.
