The present invention is directed to delivery and retention of active agents to targeted lymph nodes in a mammal using a ligand/anti-ligand pair. More particularly, the invention involves methods, compositions, and kits for delivery and retention of active agents to targeted lymph nodes using compositions comprising a ligand-colloid moiety and compositions comprising an anti-ligand. Active agents may be associated with one or more of the colloid, ligand, or anti-ligand. Conjugation of the ligand and anti-ligand after administration permits retention of aggregated colloid complex in targeted lymph nodes.
本发明涉及使用配体/抗配体对向哺乳动物的目标淋巴结递送和保留活性剂。更具体地说,本发明涉及使用包含配体-胶体分子的组合物和包含抗配体的组合物向目标淋巴结递送和保留活性剂的方法、组合物和试剂盒。活性制剂可与胶体、配体或抗配体中的一种或多种结合。给药后,配体和抗配体的结合可使聚集的胶体复合物保留在目标淋巴结中。
