Figure Lengend Snippet: Anti‐CD47‐PCM@NP effectively distinguished target cells from CD47‐expressing nontarget cells in vitro through indirect active targeting. A) Anti‐CD47‐PCM@NP avoided the blocking of CD47 on RBC and subsequent phagocytosis thus circumvented the on‐target toxicity of free anti‐CD47 towards RBC through the INTACT strategy. Scale bar = 50 µm. B,C) PCM@NP and anti‐CD47‐PCM@NP efficiently escaped the capture by B) macrophages with enhanced and parallel cellular uptake by C) target 4T1 cells, measured by flow cytometry. The antibody selectively dissociated from the carrier PCM@NP at the presence of 4T1 cells with high expression of D) CD47 in contrast to E) CD47 −/− 4T1 cells, shown by colocalization images and distribution map of PE‐antibody (red) and PCM@NP/C6 (green). Scale bar = 20 µm (multi‐cell images), 2 µm (single‐cell images). F) The schematic diagram of the microfluidic device. The tumor cells were cultured in the cavity of the microfluidic chip till adherence, and then exposed to flowing anti‐CD47 or anti‐CD47‐PCM@NP, and fluorescent images were captured at predetermined time points. G) Free anti‐CD47 sufficiently bound to the surface of 4T1 cells with high expression of CD47 (a).
