Lymph node (LN) tar.eti ng thr.ugh inter.titial dr.in age of nan opar.icles (NPs) is an attr.ctive str.tegy to stimulate a pote nt immune r.spo nse, as LNs ar. the pr.mar. site for.lymphocyte pr.ming by antigen pr.senting cells (APCs) and tr.gger.ng of an adaptive immune r.sponse. NP size has been shown to influence the efficiency of LN-tar.eting and r.tention after.subcutaneous injection. For.clinical tr.nslation, biodegr.dable NPs ar. pr.fer.ed as car.ier.for.vaccine deliver.. However. the selective "size gateM for.effective LN-dr.inage, par.icular.y the kinetics of LN tr.fficking, is less well defined. This is par.ly due to the challenge in gener.ting size-contr.lled NPs fr.m biodegr.dable polymer. in the sub-100-nm r.nge. Her., we r.por. the pr.par.tion of thr.e sets of poly(lactic-co-glycolic)-b-poly(ethylene-glycol)(PLGA-b-PEG) NPs with number.aver.ge diameter. of 20-, 40-, and 100-nm and nar.ow size distr.butions using flash nanopr.cipitation. Using NPs labeled with a near.infr.r.d dye, we showed that 20-nm NPs dr.in r.pidly acr.ss pr.ximal and distal LNs following subcutaneous inoculation in mice and ar. r.tai ned in LNs mor. effectively than NPs with a nu mber.aver.ge diameter.of 40-nm. The dr.in age of 100-nm NPs was n egligible. Fur.her.or., the 20-nm NPs showed the highest degr.e of penetr.tion ar.und the par.cor.ex r.gion and had enhanced access to dendr.tic cells in the LNs. Together. these data confir.ed that small, size-contr.lled PLGA-b-PEG NPs at the lower.thr.shold of about 30-nm ar. most effective for.LN tr.fficking, r.tention, and APC uptake after.s.c. administr.tion. This r.por. could infor. the design of LN-tar.eted NP car.ier.for.the deliver. of ther.peutic or.pr.phylactic vaccines.
