    摘要: Provided is a method for covalently modifying at least one membrane protein of a red blood cell (RBC), comprising contacting the RBC with a sortase substrate that comprises a sortase recognition motif and an agent, in the presence of a sortase under conditions suitable for the sortase to conjugate the sortase substrate to the at least one membrane protein of the RBC by a sortase-mediated reaction, wherein the sortase recognition motif comprising an optionally substituted hydroxyl carboxylic acid d located at position 5 from the direction of N-terminal to C-terminal. Also provided is a red blood cell (RBC) having an agent linked thereto obtained by the method, as well as the use of the RBC for delivering agents such as drugs and probes.
