Biodegradable nanoparticles for direct or two-step tumor immunotargeting.

TL;DR: Experiments have shown that NPs covalently coupled with antibodies or NAR can specifically and efficiently bind to cancer cells in both a pretargeting and a direct approach, suggesting that functionalized NPs may be a useful drug carrier for tumor targeting.
