Abstract

Novel magnetically responsive hydrophilic protein or polypeptide microspheres prepared by dispersing an aqueous solution or dispersion of protein or polypeptide and particulate magnetically responsive material in an organic solvent solution of a high molecular weight polymer to form a stabilized dispersion of microspheres and cross-linking said microspheres with a polyfunctional cross-linking agent.
