Particle Targeting in Complex Biological Media

Preparation and preliminary biological evaluation of [153Sm] samarium AMD3100; towards a possible therapeutic chemokine receptor CXCR4 targeting complex

Introduction: In continuation of recent development of possible C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) imaging agents, we report the development of a possible CXCR4 targeted therapy agent. Methods: [153Sm]labeled 1,1′-[1,4-phenylenebis(methylene)] bis-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclo -tetradecane ([153Sm]-AMD3100) was prepared using [153Sm]SmCl3 and AMD-3100 ...

In situ characterization of nanoparticle biomolecular interactions in complex biological media by flow cytometry

Nanoparticles interacting with, or derived from, living organisms are almost invariably coated in a variety of biomolecules presented in complex biological milieu, which produce a bio-interface or 'biomolecular corona' conferring a biological identity to the particle. Biomolecules at the surface of the nanoparticle-biomolecule complex present molecular fragments that may be recognized by recept...

Diagnostic nanoparticle targeting of the EGF-receptor in complex biological conditions using single-domain antibodies.

For effective localization of functionalized nanoparticles at diseased tissues such as solid tumours or metastases through biorecognition, appropriate targeting vectors directed against selected tumour biomarkers are a key prerequisite. The diversity of such vector molecules ranges from proteins, including antibodies and fragments thereof, through aptamers and glycans to short peptides and smal...
