Abstract

Nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) was first applied to biologically active nanocomplexes to obtain concurrent information on their size, state of aggregation, concentration, and antigenic specificity in liquid. The subject of the NTA was an immunogenic complex (a candidate nanovaccine) comprised of spherical particles (SPs) generated by thermal remodeling of the tobacco mosaic virus and Rubella virus tetraepitopes exposed on the surface of SP.
