Semipermeable Microcapsules containing Catalase for Enzyme Replacement in Acatalasaemic Mice

Nature volume 218, pages 243–245 (1968)Cite this article

Abstract

Semipermeable microcapsules containing catalase can be used to counteract catalase deficiency in acatalasaemic mice. The advantage of such microencapsulated enzymes is that they cannot leak out to become involved in immunological reactions.
