The My-10 monoclonal antibody has facilitated the search of haematopoietic stem cells by recognizing selectively the human CD34 antigen. In the present work, My-10 immunoliposomes directed specifically against CD34+ cells were prepared, characterized and tested in vitro. Binding to target cells at 4 degreesC of immunoliposomes containing carboxyfluorescein as aqueous marker was evaluated by flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy. These immunoliposomes demonstrated their capacity to bind specifically to CD34+ cells. Studies have shown that 9 antibodies/vesicle were sufficient to obtain a good binding efficiency. The product was stable over one month at 4 degreesC in terms of leakage of encapsulated carboxyfluorescein, particle size and antigen binding capacity.

The Global Technical Strategy for Malaria 2016-2030 aims to achieve a 90% reduction in malaria cases, and strategic planning and execution are crucial for accomplishing this target. This review aims to understand the complex interaction between erythrocytic receptors and parasites and to use this knowledge to actively target the erythrocytic stage of malaria. The review provides insight into the malaria life cycle, which involves various receptors such as glycophorin A, B, C, and D (GPA/B/C/D), complement receptor 1, basigin, semaphorin 7a, Band 3/ GPA, Kx, and heparan sulfate proteoglycan for parasite cellular binding and ingress in the erythrocytic and exo-erythrocytic stages.

Article Synopsis
  • * The development of targeted liposomes for cancer therapy has faced challenges, but a new type called Super Stealth Immunoliposomes (SSIL2) shows promise by stabilizing the protective polymer layer and effectively targeting cancer cells.
  • * Experimental results indicate that SSIL2 outperforms traditional stealth liposomes and stealth immunoliposomes in both safety and anticancer efficacy during tests in cell cultures, zebrafish larvae, and rodent models, marking progress in targeted cancer treatment.

Due to recent advances in the field of small molecule-based drugs, designing an efficient siRNA delivery system seems essential. Here, modified sets of lipids conjugated with cell-penetrating TAT peptide, MMP2 enzyme-sensitive moiety, and cetuximab antibodies against the EGF receptor were synthesized, purified and verified on HPLC, TLC, SEM, and DLS analyses. Different cellular and molecular experiments were designed to evaluate the transfection efficiency, targeting properties, and functions, including cytotoxicity assay, resensitization assessments, flow cytometry-based uptake assay, BCRP silencing efficiency, real-time PCR, and western blotting.

Despite the current advancements in the gene silencing therapy , the systemic delivery of siRNA still remains a challenging task for its transition into clinics. We have previously developed the Her2-targeted fatty acid synthase (FASN) siRNA-encapsulating immunoliposomes (ILs) with a great stability in the presence of serum. We report here the therapeutic potential of the lipid-based novel formulations in the breast cancer mouse model.

Development of monoclonal antibody is critical for targeted drug delivery because its characteristics determine improved therapeutic efficacy and reduced side-effect. Antibody therapeutics target surface molecules; hence, internalization is desired for drug delivery. As an antibody-drug conjugate, a critical parameter is drug-to-antibody ratio wherein the quantity of drugs attached to the antibody influences the antibody structure, stability, and efficacy.
