Iron-oxide crystals can be coated with various organic and inorganic polymers. Targeting molecules, such as recombinant complement receptor-2 (CR2) can be conjugated to the surface of the nanoparticles after they are coated, or incorporated into the polymer prior to encapsulating the SPIO. This is a figurative representation and does not accurately represent the scale of the final targeted SPIO.
