  • Publication number: 20230346862
    Abstract: Cancer eradicating engineered bacteriophage are described that can display a high copy number of a targeting polypeptide that can bind a surface antigen of a cancer cell. The bacteriophage can also display a high copy number of a cancer therapy, one or more of a drug, a toxin, an inhibitor, a radionuclide, etc. The targeting polypeptides and the cancer therapies can be directly or indirectly fused to coat proteins of the phage. The engineered phage can exhibit high avidity for cancer cells and can deliver a large dose of a cancer therapy per particle to the cell.

  • Publication number: 20230050559
    Abstract: Sized-based detection techniques for detection of bio-nanoparticles are described. Detection nanoparticles and methods of forming the detection nanoparticles that can be utilized in the techniques are described. Detection nanoparticles can include modified bacteriophage that express a linking agent for a specific binding agent. Detection nanoparticles can bind a functional bio-nanoparticle with high specificity through specific binding of one or more entities unique to the functional bio-nanoparticle of interest. A detection nanoparticle can target an entity of a bio-nanoparticle that is relevant to its function, and as such, the methods can provide improvements in detection of complete and functional bio-nanoparticles. Size-based detection regimes can include particle displacement measurement techniques based upon Brownian motion.
