Abstract

Bionized nanoferrite (BNF) particles with high specific power absorption rates were synthesized in the size range of 20-100 nm by high-pressure homogenization for targeted cancer therapy with alternating magnetic fields. Several strategies were used to conjugate antibodies to the BNF particles. These strategies were compared using an immunoassay to find optimal conditions to reach a high immunoreactivity of the final antibody-particle conjugate.
