Image: Diagram of Macrophage Interaction: Macrophages are immune cell “border guards” that have evolved to eat all sorts of foreign microbes, but they also eat many particles that are intended for therapeutics and imaging. A “Minimal peptide ‘Passport’” attached to the particles provides recognition signals so that the particles are not eaten, thus improving delivery to diseased cells in the body (Photo courtesy of Mary Leonard, Biomedical Art & Design, University of Pennsylvania).

Coating of "Self” Peptides Protects Nanoparticles from Macrophage Destruction

Nanoparticles coated with peptides derived from the human protein CD47 were protected from uptake and destruction by macrophages in a genetically engineered mouse model system. More...
