Abstract
Microparticulate compositions and methods for delivery and pulsatile release of one or more sting agonists and/or receptors have been developed. The compositions include polymeric microdevices formed from biodegradable and biocompatible polymers or co-polymers thereof including a shell and compartment(s) or discrete regions in the compartment(s) formed by an additive process such as micromolding, three dimensional printing and lithography. The compositions include microdevices that release individual doses of incorporated STING agonist and/or receptors at defined times, for example, in pulses up to several months after administration with essentially no leakage between releases.
