Enhancing Cell Recognition by Scrutinizing Cell Surfaces with a Nanoparticle Array
摘要:
We report a dual-ligand nanoparticle array approach for discerning cells that have different surface receptor profiles surrounding a common primary receptor expressed at high or low levels. The achieved differentiation provides nanoparticles the ability for potential applications in treatment of patients at a personalized medicine level for drug delivery and radiation therapy with a much better safety profile.
The present invention relates to a method of production of a hydrazide modified sugar comprising a step of reacting a sugar with a hydrazide in a reaction solvent at a pH of between 3 and 5.5, wherein the solvent comprises an aqueous based solvent and an optional polar organic co-solvent. A further aspect of the invention relates to a method of production of a polysaccharide epitope carrier protein conjugate comprising the steps of: (a) reacting a polysaccharide epitope with a hydrazide to form a hydrazide modified polysaccharide epitope; (b) reacting the hydrazide modified polysaccharide epitope with a linker that has been pre-coupled to a carrier protein. Another aspect of the invention relates to a method of production of a sugar-dihydrazide-aldehyde adduct comprising the steps of: (a) producing a hydrazide modified sugar using a method according to the invention, wherein the hydrazide modified sugar includes a further unreacted hydrazide moiety; and (b) reacting the further hydrazide moiety with the aldehyde functionality of a linker group.
The invention provides conjugates that comprise a targeting moiety, a nucleic acid, and optional linking groups as well as synthetic intermediates and synthetic methods useful for preparing the conjugates. The conjugates are useful to target therapeutic nucleic acids to the liver and to treat liver diseases including hepatitis (e.g. hepatitis B and hepatitis D).

Glycosylated antitumor ether lipids (GAELs) are effective cytotoxic agents against cancer stem cells. Furthermore, combining GAELs which kill cells by a caspase-independent pathway with agents that kill cells by apoptosis will lead to elimination of the differentiated tumor cells and the undifferentiated cancer stem cells leading to an elimination of the tumor and preventing recurrence.
