What Are the Types of Nanoparticles Used in Immunotherapy?
Several types of nanoparticles are used in immunotherapy, including:
Liposomes: These are spherical vesicles with a phospholipid bilayer, used to deliver both hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs. Polymeric nanoparticles: Made from biodegradable polymers, these particles can be tailored for controlled release of drugs. Gold nanoparticles: Known for their biocompatibility and ease of functionalization, these are used in diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Quantum dots: These semiconductor particles are used for imaging and tracking the delivery of therapeutics.
