Interactions of Apolipoproteins with Lipid-Based Nanoparticles.

Serum proteins bind and form a dynamic protein corona around nanoparticles (NPs) that have been injected into the mammalian vasculature. Several fundamental studies have shown that apolipoproteins are prominent components of the NP corona. Since apolipoproteins control the distribution of lipoproteins, they may also control the distribution of NPs.
