Quantum dots with a paramagnetic coating as a bimodal molecular imaging probe.
MRI detectable and targeted quantum dots were developed. To that aim, quantum dots were coated with paramagnetic and pegylated lipids, which resulted in a relaxivity, r(1), of nearly 2000 mM(-1)s(-1) per quantum dot. The quantum dots were functionalized by covalently linking alphavbeta3-specific RGD peptides, and the specificity was assessed and confirmed on cultured endothelial cells. The bimo...
متن کاملQuantum Dots: A Quantum Jump for Molecular Imaging?
Visual analysis of biomolecules is a fundamental subject of basic and applied biologic research. In such fields as genetics, biochemistry, and molecular biology, visible fluorescent protein constructs provide researchers with a tool of enormous value that has facilitated the identification of key molecules involved in cellular function in tissue sections and in living cells. Recently, the succe...

متن کاملQuantitative molecular magnetic resonance imaging of tumor angiogenesis using cNGR-labeled paramagnetic quantum dots.
The objective of this study was to develop and apply cyclic Asn-Gly-Arg (cNGR)-labeled paramagnetic quantum dots (cNGR-pQDs) for the noninvasive assessment of tumor angiogenic activity using quantitative in vivo molecular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). cNGR was previously shown to colocalize with CD13, an aminopeptidase that is highly overexpressed on angiogenic tumor endothelium. Because an...
متن کاملAnnexin A5-conjugated quantum dots with a paramagnetic lipidic coating for the multimodal detection of apoptotic cells.
Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, plays an important role in the etiology of a variety of diseases, including cancer. Visualization of apoptosis would allow both early detection of therapy efficiency and evaluation of disease progression. To that aim we developed a novel annexin A5-conjugated bimodal nanoparticle. The nanoparticle is composed of a quantum dot that is encapsulated in a parama...
