The performance of an in situ-forming injectable membrane designed to retain antibody molecules in vivo is described. The system entails an aqueous mixture of peptide amphiphiles (referred to as"EAK16-II" and "EAKH6") and intermediate proteins (anti-H6 antibody and protein A/G) through which therapeutic IgG molecules are colocalized and oriented. Scanning electron micrographs show IgG molecules localized on the EAK16-II/EAKH6 membrane. IgG were captured via specific interactions and remained biologically active in vitro. Upon administration into mice subcutaneously, the amphiphilic peptides coassembled into stable His-tags displaying materials locally. The system was shown to retain in vivo a fluorescent dye-labeled IgG in two epithelial tumor lines. IgG coadministered with the system were found to remain in 4T1 mouse mammary tumors for up to 120 h, while free antibody was cleared within the first 24 h. Decreased clearance was also found in B16 melanoma established in mouse footpads. These studies demonstrated that the immobilizing mechanism was effective in enhancing the retention of IgG locally in vivo. The injectable system may be used to enhance the delivery of immune modulatory antibodies in tumors.
