Abstract

Methods for the delivery of the products of biotechnology, namely peptides and proteins, are reviewed. More efficient methods of parenteral administration include the incorporation of drugs in liposomes, whereas the system favoured for respiratory delivery is the nasal route. The improved oral delivery of polypeptides remains an elusive goal.
