Abstract

Small colloidal particulates (150 nm and below, in diameter) can be redirected specifically to the rabbit bone marrow following intravenous administration by coating their surface with the block co‐polymer poloxamer‐407, a non‐ionic surfactant. The coated colloids are sequestered by the sinusoidal endothelial cells of the bone marrow and are accumulated in dense bodies within these cells. The uptake of poloxamer‐4O7‐coated colloids by marrow eondothelial cells suggests that the steric repulsive barrier, imposed by the polyoxyethylene segment of the polymer, to particle‐cell interaction can apparently be overcome by a specific interaction mechanism(s) with the cell surface. Such a dramatic uptake cannot be achieved with other block co‐polymers of similar structure to poloxamer‐407. The application of the current model for the site‐specific targeting or drug carriers to bone marrow and the prevention of the adherence of metastases of tumours which selectively colonize the bone marrow endothelium is discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
