Targeting Dendritic Cells: The Role of Specific Receptors in the Internalization of Polymer Capsules

Abstract

Dendritic cells (DCs) are an important target for vaccine delivery. It is shown that antibody functionalized polymer capsules can effectively target DCs; however, the internalization is highly dependent on the specific receptor targeted. This work highlights the importance of considering factors such as how the antibody/capsule is internalized, rather than just the target specificity.
