General description

Octaethylene glycol also known as PED-diol (n=8), is a cross linking reagent commonly used in organic synthesis.

Application

Octaethylene glycol is used as a cross-linking reagent to produce cyclic octaethylene glycol 5-nitroisophthalate. It serves as a starting material for synthesizing heterobifunctionalized clickable oligo(ethylene glycol) linkers and supramolecular polymers.

Mucosal vaccine delivery systems have paramount importance for the induction of mucosal antibody responses. Two studies were conducted to evaluate immunogenicity of inactivated AIV antigens encapsulated in poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs). In the first study, seven groups of specific pathogen
