Popis: Monoclonal antibodies (mAb) have had a transformative impact on treating cancers and immune-disorders. However, their use is limited by high development time and monetary cost, manufacturing complexities, suboptimal pharmacokinetics, and availability of disease-specific targets. To address some of these challenges, we developed an entirely synthetic, multivalent, Janus nanotherapeutic platform, called Synthetic Nanoparticle-Antibodies (SNAbs). SNAbs, with phage-display identified cell-targeting ligands on one “face”, and Fc-mimicking ligands on the opposite “face”, were synthesized using a custom, multi-step, solid-phase chemistry method. SNAbs efficiently targeted and depleted myeloid-derived immune-suppressor cells (MDSCs) from mouse-tumor and rat-trauma models, ex-vivo. Systemic injection of MDSC-targeting SNAbs efficiently depleted circulating MDSCs in a mouse triple-negative breast cancer model, enabling enhanced T cell and Natural Killer cell infiltration into tumors. Our results demonstrate that SNAbs are a versatile and effective functional alternative to mAbs, with advantages of a plug-and-play, cell-free manufacturing process, and high-throughput screening (HTS)-enabled library of potential targeting ligands.
