The use of immunoliposome for nutrient target regulation (a review)

Crit Rev Food Sci Nutr. 2006;46(8):629-38. doi: 10.1080/10408390500507167.

Abstract

Although research on the role of genetically engineered antibodies and liposomes in the immunology or the nutrition field is extensive, there is no case for immunoliposome to nutrient target regulation. It is known that liposomes are spherical particles that encapsulate a fraction of the solvent, in which they freely diffuse (float) into their interior. Therefore, identification of immunoliposomes in hypothalamic site or intestinal epithelial cells that are differentially regulated by liposomes encapsulating nutrients or drugs will be an important step toward understanding the role of immunoliposomes in nutrition regulation progression and ingredient stability. Consequently, a useful model (immunoliposomal nutrient delivery system, ILNDS) of nutrient target regulation via immunoliposomes is designed to regulate the endocrine system effectively. This review focuses on antibody libraries' construction, display and selection, a brief introduction of immunoliposome, and how to use ILNDS for nutrient target regulation.
