Abstract Background PEGylated nanoparticles (PEG-NPs) are not effective for hematologic malignancies as they lack the enhanced permeability and retention effect (EPR effect). Tumor-targeted PEG-NPs can systemically track lymphoma and actively internalize into cancer cells to enhance therapeutic efficacy. We generated an anti-PEG bispecific antibody (BsAb; mPEG × CD20) which was able to simultaneously bind to methoxy PEG on liposomes and CD20 to form multivalent αCD20-armed liposomes. This αCD20-armed liposome was able to crosslink CD20 on lymphoma cells to enhance cellular internalization and the anti-cancer efficacy of the liposomes to lymphoma. We generated mPEG × CD20 and used this bispecific antibody to modify PEGylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) through a one-step formulation. Results αCD20-armed PLD (αCD20/PLD) specifically targeted CD20+ Raji cells and enhanced PLD internalization 56-fold after 24 h. αCD20/PLD also increased cytotoxicity to Raji cells by 15.2-fold in comparison with PLD and control mPEG × DNS-modified PLD (αDNS/PLD). mPEG × CD20 significantly enhanced the tumor accumulation 2.8-fold in comparison with mPEG × DNS-conjugated PEGylated liposomal DiD in Raji tumors. Moreover, αCD20/PLD had significantly greater therapeutic efficacy as compared to αDNS/PLD (P
