The invention is concerned with a nanoparticle comprising a core, comprising a bio-resorbable polyester and a hydrophilic polymer, wherein the hydrophilic polymer is a portion of the bio-resorbable polyester or a separate polymer, and, onto the core, an acylated human lactoferrin- derived peptide, wherein the acylated human lactoferrin-derived peptide is a peptide with the amino acid sequence SEQ ID No.1: KCFQWQRNMRKVRGPPVSCIKR or an amino acid sequence, which does not differ by more than 8 amino acid positions from the sequence SEQ.ID.No.1 and wherein the N-terminus of the human lactoferrin-derived peptide is acylatedwith a C16-monoacyl group. |
