Abstract

A method is provided for incorporating water-soluble therapeutic agents in albumin microspheres. This method is particularly advantageous where the therapeutic agent is heat-sensitive. All steps of the method can be carried out at relatively low temperatures, such as ambient room temperature. The method may be applied to the preparation of intravascularly-administrable, magnetically-responsive microspheres.
