  1. Abstract:

    Nanoparticles can be cleared from the circulation and taken up by tissue-resident macrophages. This property can be beneficial when drug or antigen delivery to macrophages is desired; however, rapid clearance of nanoparticles not intended for delivery to immune cells may reduce nanoparticle circulation time and affect the efficacy of nanoparticle-formulated drug products. Therefore, understanding nanoparticles' uptake by macrophages is an essential step in the preclinical development of nanotechnology-based drug products. Understanding the route of nanoparticle uptake by macrophages may also provide mechanistic insights into the immunotoxicity of nanomaterials. The protocol described herein can be used to assess the nanoparticles' uptake by macrophages and understand the involvement of scavenger receptor A1 to inform mechanistic studies. © 2024.
