Quantify Targeting Ligand Conjugation Efficiency & Surface Density
4:10 pm
- Measure percent conjugated particles versus free particles, determine antibody or peptide density per LNP, assess conjugation uniformity
- Identify conjugation sites and ligand orientation, understand impact on targeting efficiency, optimize conjugation chemistry
- Develop potency assays that reflect binder function, correlate to in vivo targeting, predict clinical performance
