  • Method of Facilitating Intracellular Uptake or Transcellular Transport of Cargo Using Nanocarriers Containing Optimal Surface Densities of Integrin-Specific Ligands
    Publication number: 20100166808
    Abstract: A method of facilitating intracellular uptake or transcellular transport of cargo comprising: contacting target cells with a composition comprising an effective amount of cargo incorporated in a nanocarrier having a surface, wherein the nanocarrier surface comprises integrin-specific ligands having a surface density of approximately 5 to 50,000 integrin-specific ligands per ?m2, and maintaining contact between the composition and the target cells for a period of time sufficient to permit intracellular uptake or transcellular transport of the cargo.
