摘要:
The targeted delivery of therapeutic agents to specific cells remains a challenge in drug delivery. Provided herein are nanoparticle-targeting agent conjugates that can be used for the targeted delivery of therapeutic agents to certain cells and target tissues. The conjugates comprise nanoparticles (e.g., metal nanoparticles such as gold nanoparticles) with organic outer shells capable of adsorbing large numbers of therapeutic agents (e.g., small molecule drugs). The nanoparticles are covalently linked to targeting agents (e.g., proteins such as antibodies). The present invention also provides formulations comprising the nanoparticle-targeting agent conjugates, and kits comprising the same. In another aspect, the present invention provides methods of using the conjugates for the delivery of therapeutic agents to cells, and the treatment and/or prevention of diseases (e.g., autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases, proliferative diseases such as cancer). In another aspect, the present invention provides methods of preparing the nanoparticle-targeting agent conjugates described herein.

摘要:
The invention provides compositions and methods for delivering an agent to virally infected tissues and/or cells of a subject by conjugating agent-loaded nanoparticles to virus-specific T cells, such as cytotoxic T lymphocytes. The agent may be a latency-reversing drug (LRD), an antiviral agent and/or an agent that enhances cytotoxic efficacy of T lymphocytes.

The invention provides compositions and methods for delivering agents to localized regions, tissues, or organs in vivo by conjugating agent-loaded nanoparticles to cells having homing capability. The agents may be therapeutic or diagnostic agents such as cancer chemotherapeutic agents and imaging agents respectively.
摘要:
The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for efficient and effective protein delivery in vitro and in vivo. In some aspects, proteins are reversibly crosslinked to each other and/or modified with functional groups and protected from protease degradation by a polymer-based or silica-based nanoshell.
