The purpose of this study was to demonstrate specific receptor-mediated targeting of phagocytes by functional surface coatings of microparticles, shielding from nonspecific phagocytosis and allowing ligand-specific interactions via molecular recognition. Coatings of the comb polymer poly(L-lysine)-g-poly(ethylene glycol) (PLL-g-PEG) were investigated
