Achieving dendritic cell subset-specific targeting in vivo by site-directed conjugation of targeting antibodies to nanocarriers

This paper develops a site-directed conjugation method to attach antibodies to nanocarriers for specific targeting of dendritic cell subsets in vivo, improving vaccine efficacy by avoiding non-specific uptake.
