B cell malignancies, such as B cell leukemia and lymphoma, have CD22 overexpression with ∼7% of patients. A short CD22 binding peptide (PV3) with a moderate affinity (Kd ∼ 9 μM) was identified by screening multiple peptide candidates determined through analysis of CD22-epratuzumab complex crystal structure. PV3 binding specificity was confirmed via competitive binding inhibition, then was used as the targeting moiety on CD22-targeted liposomal nanoparticle (TNPPV3) formulations. To maximize the potential therapeutic outcome of TNPPV3 formulation, nanoparticle design parameters, such as peptide hydrophilicity, ethylene glycol linker length, valency, and particle size were optimized for maximum selective cellular uptake by CD22+ malignant cancer cells.
