METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS RELATED TO PHAGE-NANOPARTICLE ASSEMBLIES

摘要

Embodiments of the invention include additional compositions and related methods and devices for the use of phage-nanoparticle assemblies. Embodiments of the invention include compositions, methods and devices related to phage-nanoparticle assemblies and their use in a variety of methods including detection methods, in vitro and in vivo diagnostic methods, direct and/or indirect therapeutic methods, or combinations thereof. Phage-nanoparticle assemblies of the invention comprise a plurality of nanoparticles complexed with one or more phage particles to form a phage-nanoparticle assembly. In certain aspects, the phage­nanoparticle assembly may also include other agents, including but not limited to organizing agents and/or therapeutic agents.
