Article Description

For effective drug delivery using nanoparticles, antibody can be beneficially utilized thanks to its high binding affinity to the target site. However, a conventional method to conjugate antibody to nanoparticles involves a multi-step synthetic process, which can damage the antibody’s intrinsic target-recognition nature. Herein, a facile approach is reported to construct a versatile targeted delivery platform, to which any desired antibodies are allowed to directly bind, by coating the nanoparticle surface with a functional fusion protein consisting of glutathione- S -transferase (GST) and the antibody-binding domain (ABD) called Z domain. The antibody-plugged nanoparticle exhibits high structural stability in biological environments and cell-specific targeting behaviors, significantly enhancing drug delivery efficiency both in vitro and in vivo for diverse therapeutic applications.
