Microencapsulation of the enzyme phenylalanine ammonia-lyase was developed for in vivo depletion of systemic phenylalanine in phenylketonuric rats. Compared to normal rats, systemic phenylalanine blood levels in phenylketonuric rats was increased by 15-20-fold. Daily oral administration of 1 unit of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase-loaded artificial cells to phenylketonuric rats lowered the systemic phenylalanine level to 58% +/- 18% (mean + S.D.) in 7 days (P less than 0.010), while 5 units lowered the systemic phenylalanine level to 25% +/- 8%. 5 units of the immobilized enzyme lowered the systemic phenylalanine level to normal levels within 6 days. Phenylketonuric treated rats showed no signs of abnormal behavior and weight loss compared to phenylketonuric non-treated rats. The immobilized enzyme within artificial cells is therefore protected against low gastrointestinal pH and proteolytic enzymes.
