Abstract
Provided herein is a tumor associated macrophage (TAM)-targeting liposome. The liposome has a lipid bilayer, a targeting agent associated with the lipid bilayer, and a repolarizing agent associated with the lipid bilayer. The targeting agent optionally comprises an antibody or fragment thereof that selectively binds a TAM, whereas the repolarizing agent repolarizes the TAM upon binding of the TAM by the targeting agent. Also provided is a pharmaceutical composition comprising the TAM-targeting liposomes and a method of treating a subject with cancer with the compositions or liposomes described herein.
