High-Gd-Payload P22 protein cage nanoparticles for imaging vascular inflammation
Methods 1) P22: The P22 protein cage (60 nm) is bioengineered with an internal polymer network with amine functional groups allowing incorporation of ~9100 Gd-DTPA molecules per cage via the amine groups (Figure 1: [1]). This provides a per cage relaxivity of 70000 mMs, superior to Gd-DTPA for the equivalent Gd concentration. 2) Atherosclerosis Models: Both ApoE-deficient (ApoE) and FVB mice we...
متن کاملExpression of monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 in macrophage-rich areas of human and rabbit atherosclerotic lesions.
The recruitment of monocyte-macrophages into the artery wall is one of the earliest events in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) is a potent monocyte chemoattractant secreted by many cells in vitro, including vascular smooth muscle and endothelial cells. To test whether it is expressed in the artery in vivo, we used Northern blot analysis, in situ hy...
متن کاملimaging of vascular lesions in pediatrics
background the most common soft tissue tumors during infancy and childhood are vascular lesions. although the vast majority of these lesions have typical clinical features with no need for any further exam, but sometimes atypical superficial or deeply located lesions require complementary studies to be diagnosed and classified. in that way it is also very important to exclude very less common m...

متن کاملA 99mTc-tricine-HYNIC-labeled Peptide Targeting the Melanocortin-1 Receptor for Melanoma Imaging
Melanocortin-1 (MC1) receptor is an attractive melanoma-specific target for the development of α-MSH peptide based imaging and therapeutic agents. In this work a new lactam bridge α-MSH analogue was synthesized and radiolabeled with 99mTc via HYNIC chelator and tricine as co-ligand. Also, stability in human serum, receptor bound internalization and tissue biodistribution in tumor bearing nude m...
