Stem Cell Related Patent Number US6552172
| Title: | Fibrin nanoparticles and uses thereof | | Inventors: | Marx, Gerard; Jerusalem, Israel
Gorodetsky, Raphael; Jerusalem, Israel | | Summary: | This invention introduces novel isolated fibrin nanoparticles having a mean diameter between 200 and 2000 nm, methods and uses thereof. Further disclosed are the means by which fibrin particles of various sizes are prepared, including fibrin nanoparticles and fibrin microbeads. Also provided are compositions comprising fibrin particles and an agent that is coupled to the amine or carboxy moieties on the surface of the fibrin particles. Another embodiment of the invention provides for an agent that is admixed with the fibrin nanoparticles. Also included is a method for introducing an agent into a cell, a method for isolating stem and progenitor cells from a biological sample, and a composition comprising fibrin particles bound to stem or progenitor cells. Therapeutic uses are provided, such as in the delivery of various agents to cells, such agents including drugs, proteins, peptides, nucleic acids, saccharides, antigens or haptens. | | Abstract: | The present invention provides fibrin nanoparticles having a mean diameter of 200-2000 nm.
