| abstract |
The invention provides methods of attaching proteins to lipidic microparticles with efficiencies of at least 77%. The proteins are attached to linker molecules comprising a hydrophilic domain and a hydrophobic domain. The proteins can be antibodies, antibody fragments, hormones, growth factors, enzymes, or nucleic acid binding proteins, or other proteins. The proteins can be chemically conjugated to the linker molecules, or they can be fused to the linker molecules by recombinant techniques. |
