Abstract
Herein we report the construction of a nanoparticle-based drug delivery system which targets a key regulator in tumour angiogenesis. We exploit a Variable New Antigen Receptor (VNAR) domain, conjugated using site-specific chemistry, to direct poly lactic acidco-glycolic acid–polyethylene glycol (PLGA–PEG) nanoparticles to delta like canonical Notch ligand 4 (DLL4). The importance of sitespecific chemistry is demonstrated.
