    摘要: An immunoniosmes for targeted delivery of therapeutic agents to specific tissues in a host and methods of synthesis of those niosomes. An antibody molecule having specificity for a target antigen, such as a cell surface marker or other marker differentially expressed on a target cell, is covalently coupled to a functionalized membrane constituent. In a particular embodiment the functionalized membrane constituent is polyoxyethylene sorbitan monostearate functionalized with cyanuric chloride. The niosomes of this invention thus provide a composition that enhances internalization or retention of the bioactive agent of the niosome into the cytoplasm of the cells of the target tissue by providing a high degree of target specificity. Furthermore, the membrane vesicle enhances the life of the therapeutic agent by preventing its degradation in the extracellular environment, while exhibiting lower toxicity than can occur with some liposomes. The niosomes of the present invention are thus particularly useful as vehicles for the delivery of therapeutics to specific target cells.

    摘要: A method of targeted drug delivery and imaging using nonionic surfactant vesicles (niosomes) in combination with ultrasound is presented. Niosomes have potential applications in targeted drug delivery and imaging because of their ability to encapsulate therapeutic agents and their enhanced uptake by physiological membranes. The niosomes may be administered to the subject via catheter. Ultrasound may be used to mediate delivery non-invasively by altering the niosome membrane structure. Niosomes composed of polyoxyethylene sorbitan monostearate (Tween 61), cholesterol, and dicetyl phosphate were synthesized via a thin film hydration technique and used for encapsulation studies. Carboxyfluorescein dye (CF) was used as a drug model to demonstrate delivery. The amount of dye in the niosomes, the concentration of the vesicles, and their mean particle size after each 5 minute incremental exposure to ultrasound was monitored. It was found that ultrasound at specific frequencies can reversibly permeabilize the lipid membrane of niosomes to allow the controlled release of a compound without destroying the niosome structure.

    摘要: Production of proteases in plants is set forth, whereby heterologous DNA encoding the protease is introduced into the plant and expression of the protein achieved. By such methods, expression is achieved in plants wherein the plant cell is not damaged, the protein can be recovered without contamination by other proteases, and can be expressed at levels such that commercial production of the enzyme is obtained. Expression levels can be at 0.1% of total soluble protein of the plant, or higher.
