Ligands with specificity for a target cell receptor, and optionally drug molecules as well, are covalently bound to magnetic nanoparticles, either directly or through a spacer molecule. The ligand precludes the need for a separate coating layer. For example, human breast cancer cells express receptors both for luteinizing hormone/chorionic gonadotropin (LH/CG), and for luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH). These cells can be specifically targeted by iron oxide nanoparticles covalently linked to LH/CG or LHRH. The nanoparticles are incorporated into the cancer cells through receptor-mediated endocytosis. The specific accumulation in targeted cancer cells enhances resolution for imaging, therapy, or both. The ligand may, for example, be a hormone, receptor, or antibody, or a fragment thereof. | 07-02-2009 |
