Functionalized Solid-Sphere PEG-b-PCL Nanoparticles to Target Brain Capillary Endothelial Cells In Vitro

Nanoparticles are increasingly used to implement drug targeting strategies. In the present study, solid-sphere nanoparticles (SNPs) made of poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(ε-caprolactone) (PEG-b-PCL) were covalently linked to a monoclonal antibody (83-14 mAb) targeted against the human insulin receptor...
