Abstract:
The invention relates to a composition and a method for manufacturing semi-dry or dry particles containing a mucoadhesive polymer and a bioactive agent such as, but not limited to, an Immunogenic Substance (e.g., a vaccine), that allows the oral or nasal administration and delivery of the bioactive agent essentially unaltered to mucosal surfaces in the animal, including an aquatic animal.

Claim (Index 1):
An immunogenic substance for oral or nasal vaccination comprising a vaccine, a cross-linked mucoadhesive polymer, 10-60 wt % of one or more sugars, 3-10 wt % of one or more oligosaccharides and 1-10 wt % of one or more electrolytes, wherein the immunogenic substance is prepared by a method comprising:\n (a) dissolving the mucoadhesive polymer and the one or more oligosaccharides in an aqueous solution; (b) mixing the vaccine with the resulting solution from step (a) to form a slurry; (c) cross-linking the mucoadhesive polymer in the slurry with the one or more electrolytes to form hydrogel particles; (d) soaking the hydrogel particles in a solution saturated with the one or more sugars to make semi-dry particles; and (e) drying the semi-dry particles to form the immunogenic substance.
