Synthesis and characterization of Tf-MeLioNs. Transmission electron microscopy (A), scanning electron microscopy (B), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (C) images of the synthesized Tf-MeLioNs. Schematic structure of the Tf-MeLioNs (D). Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization–time-of-flight spectra of pure transferrin (E) and Tf-MeLioNs (F). Hydrodynamic size of MeLioNs (G) and Tf-MeLioNs (H), as analyzed using dynamic light scattering. LioNs, L-arginine-coated iron oxide nanoparticles; Tf-MeLioNs, transferrin-conjugated melittin-loaded LioNs.
