A modular, nanoscale platform for the targeted delivery of camptothecin to cancer cells expressing TAG-72

Abstract

A camptothecin (CPT)-dilysine nanotube, stabilized with a layer of polydopamine (PDA), was functionalized on the surface with anti-TAG-72 antibody fragments. Cell viability studies showed that the presence of the targeting anti-TAG-72 scFv significantly enhanced cytotoxicity against TAG-72 positive, LS-174T colon cancer cells, compared with HT-29 cells negative for the antigen.
