ABSTRACT
Ultrasmall particles of iron oxide (USPIOs) coated with 3,3'-bis(phosphonate)propionic acid were covalently coupled to a home-made Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) peptidomimetic molecule via a short oligoethylene-glycol (OEG) spacer. The conjugation rate was measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The particle size and magnetic characteristics were kept. Our novel conjugate targeted efficiently Jurkat cells (increase of 229% vs the control).
