Abstract

Magnetic albumin immuno-nanospheres (MAINs), simultaneously loaded with super-paramagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles for targeting application and anticancer gene, plasmid-survivin/shRNA (pshRNA) and modified with anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody Cetuximab for targeting and treatment agents, were prepared for targeting lung cancer. Transmission electron microscopy images and transfection photographs, respectively, showed that magnetic nanoparticles and pshRNA were successfully encased in the albumin nanospheres. The release profiles in vitro indicated that nanospheres had an obvious effect of sustained release of pshRNA. The results of slide agglutination test and immunofluorescence analysis demonstrated that the immuno-nanospheres retained the immuno-reactivity of Cetuximab. The MAINs significantly increased adherence and uptake by GLC-82 lung cancer cells over-expressed epidermal growth factor receptor over a magnetic albumin nanospheres (MANs) control. The pshRNA-loaded MAINs formulation was more effective than equimolar doses of free Cetuximab, single magnetic targeting with pshRNA (pshRNA-loaded MANs) or single monoclonal antibody targeting with pshRNA (pshRNA-loaded AINs) in the treatment of GLC-82 lung cancer cells.

Antibodies: Agglutination

Antibody-mediated agglutination is the clumping of cells in the presence of antibody, which binds multiple cells together. This enhances the clearance of pathogens. Find the latest research on antibody-mediated agglutination here.
