Zusammenfassung
Purpose: Pulmonary surfactant (PS) is the first biological matter a nanoparticle (NP) encounters after deposition into the alveolar lumen. This complex mixture of lipids and proteins offers a pool of biomolecules that can undergo bio-nano-interactions. Especially adsorption of the prevailing Surfactant Protein A (SP-A) might lead a NP – protein corona, that probably largely influences further biological effects like translocation or clearance. Therefore we studied the binding of this protein to magnetic NPs (mNPs) coated with different inhalation relevant materials and the impact of this effect on alveolar macro…
