Previously, it was demonstrated that immunoliposomes, bearing anti-intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) antibodies (mAb F10.2), can specifically bind to different cell types expressing ICAM-1. In this study, we have quantified the amount of immunoliposomes binding to IFN-gamma activated human bronchial epithelial cells (BEAS-2B) in vitro and studied the subsequent fate of cell-bound anti-ICAM-1 immunoliposomes. We demonstrate that binding of the immunoliposomes to the epithelial cells depends on the liposome concentration used. After binding to the cell surface, the anti-ICAM-1 immunoliposomes are rapidly internalised by the epithelial cells. Sixty percent of cell-bound immunoliposomes were internalised by the epithelial cells within 1 h of incubation at 37 degrees C. The results indicate that ICAM-1 targeted immunoliposomes may be used as carriers for the intracellular delivery of anti-inflammatory drugs to sites of inflammation characterised by an increased expression of ICAM-1.
