[Preparation and in vitro killing effect of adriamycin-loaded immunonanosphere against hepatoma led by F (ab')2 Fragment of monoclonal antibodies].

Objective: To study the preparation method and in vitro killing effect of adriamycin (ADR)-loaded human serum albumin (HSA) immunonanosphere (HAb18 F(ab')2-ADR-HSA-NP) against hepatoma led by F(ab')2 fragment of human hepatoma specific monoclonal antibody HAb18.

Methods: After ADR loaded HSA nanosphere (ADR-HSA-NP) was prepared in the emulsifying high temperature solidifying way, HAb18 F(ab')2-ADR-HSA-NP was prepared using the modified N-succinimidyl 3-(2-pyridyldithio) propionate (SPDP) method. In vitro binding characters of HAb18 F(ab')2-ADR-HSA-NP and ADR-HSA-NP and hepatoma cell SMMC-7721 were observed under optical microscopy and electronic microscopy. In vitro effects of killing hepatoma cell SMMC-7721 of two microspheres were determined using the method of 3H-TdR.

Results: The surfaces of HAb18 F(ab')2-ADR-HSA-NP gave out bright yellow-green fluorescence after it was dyed with fluorescent agent, whereas ADR-HSA-NP did not give out fluorescence. HAb18 F(ab')2-ADR-HSA-NP could integrate with hepatoma cell SMMC-7721 and effectively killed hepatoma cell SMMC-7721 with dose dependence, but ADR-HSA-NP could not obviously integrate and kill SMMC-7721. Neither of the two microspheres could bind and kill human large intestine cancer cell SW1116.

Conclusion: HAb18 F(ab')2-ADR-HSA-NP has a good character for in vitro specific targeting to bind and kill human hepatoma cell.
