MULTI-TARGETING CELL-DERIVED NANOPARTICLES AS A VERSATILE THERANOSTIC

摘要

The present invention concerns a method for the production of cell-membrane derived nanoparticles, comprising the steps of extracting the cell membranes from cells of two or more different cell lines and fusing them by means of high-pressure homogenisation in the presence of a disperse therapeutic or diagnostic ingredient. Another object of the present invention are cell-membrane derived nanoparticles enclosing a therapeutic or diagnostic ingredient; these nanoparticles are obtainable by the method of the invention and can be employed as drug delivery systems for medical or diagnostic use.
