Figure Lengend Snippet: CHOL-PEG-SPIO-IL19 Synthesis process and characterization in vitro. A Synthetic scheme of IL-19 antibodies and CHOL-PEG polymer conjugated with amino-coated SPIO nanoparticles. 1. Amino-coated SPIO nanoparticles were modified with maleimide through reaction with sulfo-SMCC. 2. IL-19 antibodies were thiolated with iminothiolane, and TCEP was added to reduce disulfide bonds. 3. The maleimide-functionalized SPIO nanoparticles were mixed with the thiolated antibody solution and CHOL-PEG polymer to form CHOL-PEG and antibody-conjugated SPIO nanoparticles. B The size distributions of CHOL-PEG-SPIO-IL19 and unconjugated SPIO nanoparticles were determined through DLS measurement, as shown on the volume distribution graph. C TEM images of unconjugated SPIO and CHOL-PEG-SPIO-IL19 (scale bar = 20 nm). Statistical analysis indicated a significant difference among the particle size of CHOL-PEG-SPIO-IL19 and SPIO nanoparticles (n = 10 per group). D FT-IR spectrum of CHOL-PEG, IL-19 antibody, CHOL-PEG-SPIO-IL19 and unconjugated SPIO nanoparticles. The IR spectrum of Cholesterol-PEG polymer is characterized by peak at approximately 2854 cm −1 due to C-H stretching. E Evaluation of CHOL-PEG-SPIO-IL19 nanoparticles targeting specificity through IF staining. DBTRG cells were incubated with IL-19 antibodies, isotype control antibodies (mouse IgG2b antibody), SPIO nanoparticles, and CHOL-PEG-SPIO-IL19 nanoparticles, and then stained with FITC goat anti-mouse IgG2b antibodies. Green, IL-19; blue, DAPI. F Flow cytometry analysis for intracellular IL-19 expression in human GBM cells by using CHOL-PEG-SPIO-IL19 nanoparticles. DBTRG cells were stained with SPIO nanoparticles, CHOL-PEG-SPIO-IL19 nanoparticles, IL-19 antibodies, or isotype control antibodies (mouse IgG2b antibody) and then stained with FITC goat anti-mouse IgG2b antibodies. G Detection of CHOL-PEG-SPIO-IL19 in T2-weighted MRI images. Echo time curve fitting of CHOL-PEG-SPIO-IL19 phantoms in various known concentrations was measured using 7 T MRI. T2 relaxation time of CHOL-PEG-SPIO-IL19 in known Fe concentrations (n = 3 for each concentration). Corresponding signal intensity images of CHOL-PEG-SPIO-IL19 standards (0–15.7 μg/mL) measured using T2-weighted images
