Application
NanoFabTx™ Biotin Lipid Mix is a ready-to-use nanoformulation lipid mixture for the synthesis of biotin-functionalized liposomes. This lipid mix enables users to encapsulate a wide variety of small molecules for targeting and immunotherapy applications without the need for lengthy trial-and-error optimization.
This product includes a curated lyophilized lipid mixture containing rationally selected lipids in precise ratios that have been optimized to achieve a desired size range of liposomes. Step-by-step protocols for the synthesis of liposomes surface-functionalized with biotin groups using extrusion and microfluidics are also included. The synthesized biotin-functionalized liposomes enable 1) selectively targeting cells which overexpress avidin-receptors (i.e. HeLa cells) and 2) the conjugation of avidin-tagged antibodies or proteins (i.e. Streptavidin) to the liposomes surface for immunotherapy applications and multi-targeting or multi-type cargo delivery.
