Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Nanotechnology
  • Surface Chemistry

Background:

  • Nanoparticles with core-diffuse shell structures are synthesized using PICBA-Dextran block copolymers for drug delivery.
  • Understanding protein adsorption and immune system interactions is critical for nanoparticle safety and efficacy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Measurement of protein adsorption using Immunodiffusion and assessment of nanoparticle aggregation and complement system activation.

    • Main Results:

    • BSA adsorbed significantly even with short distances between dextran chains.
    • Fibrinogen-induced nanoparticle aggregation was prevented by high dextran chain density.
    • Complement system activation was limited by dextran chain surface density and mesh size.

    Conclusions:

    • Diffuse shell characteristics, particularly dextran chain density and mesh size, critically modulate protein adsorption and immune responses.
    • Tailoring nanoparticle surface properties is essential for controlling biological interactions and enhancing safety for bloodstream injection.
