The process includes preparing a homogenized antigen-sucrose matrix and adding a solvent to the sucrose-antigen matrix to form a solution. Preparing a solution of a biodegradable polymer by adding a solvent to the polymer. Adding the biodegradable polymer solution to the antigen-sucrose solution. Adding an oil to the polymer-sucrose-antigen solution to form an emulsion having a controlled viscosity that corresponds to a predetermined average particle size of distributions of microspheres of biodegradable polymers. Centrifuging the emulsion of controlled viscosity and removing the supernatant to obtain microspheres of a predetermined range of particle size distributions of from about 0.5 to about 70 micrometers..Iaddend.
