title: Preparation of HSA microspheres in a one-step thermal denaturation of protein aerosol carried in gas-medium.
abstract: A simple, one-step method of preparation of human albumin microspheres by thermal denaturation of protein aerosol in a gas medium is described. These microspheres were easily labelled with technetium-99m and iodine-131, and were characterized by short biological clearance and high lung uptake.
