  • Publication number: 20240398999
    Abstract: The present invention belongs to the field of nanomedicine, and provides a DC biomimetic membrane nanoparticle loaded with an NIR-II AIE dye, a preparation method therefor and use thereof. The DC biomimetic membrane nanoparticle loaded with the NIR-II AIE dye comprises a DC membrane and an NIR-II AIE dye loaded therein, wherein the NIR-II AIE dye has photothermal characteristics. The DC biomimetic membrane nanoparticle loaded with the NIR-II AIE dye provided by the present invention not only solves the problem that the NIR-II AIE dye is poor in water solubility and limited in fluorescence imaging, but also increases the enrichment efficiency of the NIR-II AIE dye coated by the DC membrane at a tumor site and successfully activates the activity of T cells in vivo.

  • Patent number: 11214586
    Abstract: Through the use of a rhodamine appended chelate, a versatile strategy has been demonstrated to generate mitochondria-targeting photosensitizers via the incorporation of variety of luminescent transition metal systems. The generation of triplet excited state of rhodamine moiety endows the complexes with mitochondria-targeting photosensitizing ability to form singlet oxygen (1O2) for use as photodynamic therapy (PDT) agent. The combination of rhodamine organic dye and luminescent transition metal centers in such hybrid systems exhibits the synergistic merits, including low dark cytotoxicity, selective tumor cell uptake, high molar absorptivity for low-energy excitation in the visible region, and high photostability.

  • Patent number: 10081810
    Abstract: The present invention provides a c-Rel-specific siRNA and its use for preventing and treating autoimmune psoriasis. In particular, the c-Rel-specific siRNAs have sequences as shown in SEQ ID Nos. 1-2 or SEQ ID Nos. 3-4. In the present invention, small interfering RNA (siRel) specific to c-Rel are employed to inhibit c-Rel biosynthesis, and prevent and treat autoimmune psoriasis by inhibiting inflammatory factors relating to IL-23/IL-17A inflammatory axis.

  • Publication number: 20170296639
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for preparing dendritic cell loaded with antigen, the method comprising the steps of adding serum-free cell culture medium containing granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and inter-leukin (IL)-4 into mononuclear cells, culturing in an incubator at 37° C. under 5% carbon dioxide for 5 days, adding target antigen wrapped cationic liposome and culturing for 8-24 hours to obtain target antigen loaded dendritic cell.
