ABSTRACT:
Injectable particles are provided that are not rapidly cleared from the blood stream by the macrophages of the reticuloendothelial system, and that can be modified as necessary to achieve variable release rates or to target specific cells or organs as desired. The injectable particles can include magnetic particles or radiopaque materials for diagnostic imaging, biologically active molecules to be delivered to a site, or compounds for targeting the particles. Biodistribution experiments indicate that the injectable particles have a prolonged half-life in the blood compared to particles not containing poly(alkylene glycol) moieties on the surface.
