The present invention addresses the problem of providing: lipid nanoparticles that enable selective delivery of a
nucleic acid to a target
cell; or a method for measuring the
optimal density for selective delivery of a
nucleic acid to a target
cell. Provided are lipid nanoparticles that include: a
nucleic acid encapsulated in the lipid nanoparticles; a cationic lipid; a
sterol or a
sterol derivative; an
antibody selected from a VHH
antibody, an Fab
antibody, and an scFv antibody; a targeting polyalkylene glycol-modified lipid; and a non-targeting polyalkylene glycol-modified lipid. The antibody targets an
antigen on a T-
cell. The targeting polyalkylene glycol-modified lipid is a lipid in which the antibody is linked to polyalkylene glycol. The non-targeting polyalkylene glycol-modified lipid is a lipid not linked to the antibody. The density of the VHH antibody existing on the surfaces of the lipid nanoparticles in a state capable of binding to the
antigen is 0.004-2.300 per 100 nm2 of the
nanoparticle surfaces. The density of the Fab antibody existing on the surfaces of the lipid nanoparticles in a state capable of binding to the
antigen is 0.003-1.113 per 100 nm2 of the
nanoparticle surfaces. The density of the scFv antibody existing on the surfaces of the lipid nanoparticles in a state capable of binding to the antigen is 0.003-1.113 per 100 nm2 of the
nanoparticle surfaces.
