Compositions comprising a dual-targeted nanoparticle having a first targeting moiety and a second targeting moiety, wherein said first targeting moiety is a red blood cell (RBC)-targeting moiety are provided. In certain embodiment, the nanoparticles are bound to RBCs ex vivo. Also provided are methods of delivering selected drugs to target organs using these compositions for treatment of disease or for diagnostic imaging.

Provided is an isolated antibody that specifically binds to HPA-1a. Also provided is a nucleic acid molecule that encodes the antibody, and compositions comprising the antibody. Also provided is a method of producing the antibody and methods and uses which employ the antibody. Also provided are therapeutic uses of the antibody, for example in the treatment or prophylaxis of fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT).
