A multifunctional nanobody-drug conjugate (NDC) was constructed in this work for the targeted delivery of a platinum prodrug and an MRI contrast agent. The NDC can be specifically internalized into EGFR positive cancer cells, resulting in higher therapeutic effect and lower side-effects relative to cisplatin. The Gd-binding domain enables the in situ detection of the drug distribution in vivo.
