摘要
Aim: To develop a novel anti-CD47 single-chain variable fragment (scFv) functionalized magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) for targeting bladder cell lines and its applicability in thermotherapy. Material & methods: An immunized murine antibody phage display library was constructed and screened to isolate anti-CD47 binders. A scFv was selected and conjugated to MNPs which was then utilized to discriminate CD47(+) bladder cells along with assessing its efficacy in thermotherapy. Results: An scFv with high affinity to bladder cells was efficiently conjugated to MNPs. Following a hyperthermia treatment, the function of scFv-MNP conjugates led to a considerable reduction in cell viability. Conclusion: The anti-CD47 scFv-MNP conjugate was an effective cancer cell thermotherapy tool that might pave the way for development of bionano-based targeting techniques in both early detection and treatment of cancer.
