Abstract
Abstract
Protein adsorption onto nanomaterials often results in denaturation and loss of bioactivity. Controlling the adsorption process to maintain the protein structure and function has potential for a range of applications. Here we report that self-assembled poly(propylene sulfone) (PPSU) nanoparticles support the controlled formation of multicomponent enzyme and antibody coatings and maintain their bioactivity. Simulations indicate that hydrophobic patches on protein surfaces induce a site-specific dipole relaxation of PPSU assemblies to non-covalently anchor the proteins without disrupting the protein hydrogen bonding or structure. As a proof of concept, a nanotherapy employing multiple mast-cell-targeted antibodies for preventing anaphylaxis is demonstrated in a humanized mouse model. PPSU nanoparticles displaying an optimized ratio of co-adsorbed anti-Siglec-6 and anti-FcεRIα antibodies effectively inhibit mast cell activation and degranulation, preventing anaphylaxis. Protein immobilization on PPSU surfaces provides a simple and rapid platform for the development of targeted protein nanomedicines. © 2024.
