Liposome formulations with prolonged circulation time in blood and enhanced uptake by tumors.
The rapid clearance of circulating liposomes from the bloodstream, coupled with their high uptake by liver and spleen, has thus far been an obstacle to any attempts at targeting to tumors. We have assessed the impact of liposome composition on their clearance from the circulation in normal and tumor-bearing mice and on their uptake by tumors and various normal tissues. By selective changes in l...
متن کاملAntibody targeting of long-circulating lipidic nanoparticles does not increase tumor localization but does increase internalization in animal models.
We describe evidence for a novel mechanism of monoclonal antibody (MAb)-directed nanoparticle (immunoliposome) targeting to solid tumors in vivo. Long-circulating immunoliposomes targeted to HER2 (ErbB2, Neu) were prepared by the conjugation of anti-HER2 MAb fragments (Fab' or single chain Fv) to liposome-grafted polyethylene glycol chains. MAb fragment conjugation did not affect the biodistrib...
متن کاملAntitumor activity of an epithelial cell adhesion molecule targeted nanovesicular drug delivery system.
Site-specific delivery of anticancer agents to tumors represents a promising therapeutic strategy because it increases efficacy and reduces toxicity to normal tissues compared with untargeted drugs. Sterically stabilized immunoliposomes (SIL), guided by antibodies that specifically bind to well internalizing antigens on the tumor cell surface, are effective nanoscale delivery systems capable of...
متن کاملAntibody targeting of doxorubicin-loaded liposomes suppresses the growth and metastatic spread of established human lung tumor xenografts in severe combined immunodeficient mice.
Beta1 integrins, expressed on the cell surface of human non-small cell lung carcinomas, are used here as a target for the selective delivery of anti-cancer drug-loaded liposomes. Fab' fragments of a monoclonal antibody specific for human beta1 integrins were conjugated to sterically stabilized liposomes. Confocal microscopy of beta1 integrin-positive lung tumor cells incubated with fluorescentl...
متن کاملSingle chain Fab (scFab) fragment
BACKGROUND The connection of the variable part of the heavy chain (VH) and and the variable part of the light chain (VL) by a peptide linker to form a consecutive polypeptide chain (single chain antibody, scFv) was a breakthrough for the functional production of antibody fragments in Escherichia coli. Being double the size of fragment variable (Fv) fragments and requiring assembly of two indepe...
