Development of an antibody-based, modular biosensor for 129Xe NMR molecular imaging of cells at nanomolar concentrations.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is seriously limited when aiming for visualization of targeted contrast agents. Images are reconstructed from the weak diamagnetic properties of the sample and require an abundant molecule like water as the reporter. Micromolar to millimolar concentrations of conventional contrast agents are needed to generate image contrast, thus excluding many molecular marker...
متن کاملXenon biosensor amplification via dendrimer-cage supramolecular constructs.
Polyamidoamine dendrimers were synthesized with a single biotin moiety and used with cryptophane-A cages to form supramolecular biosensor constructs. These new biosensors amplified the NMR signals obtained from polarized xenon 8 times more than the original Xe biosensor.
متن کاملOptimization of xenon biosensors for detection of protein interactions.
Hyperpolarized 129Xe NMR spectroscopy can detect the presence of specific low-concentration biomolecular analytes by means of a xenon biosensor that consists of a water-soluble, targeted cryptophane-A cage that encapsulates the xenon. In this work, we use the prototypical biotinylated xenon biosensor to determine the relationship between the molecular composition of the xenon biosensor and the ...
متن کاملIn vivo detection of cucurbit[6]uril, a hyperpolarized xenon contrast agent for a xenon magnetic resonance imaging biosensor
The Hyperpolarized gas Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer (HyperCEST) Magnetic Resonance (MR) technique has the potential to increase the sensitivity of a hyperpolarized xenon-129 MRI contrast agent. Signal enhancement is accomplished by selectively depolarizing the xenon within a cage molecule which, upon exchange, reduces the signal in the dissolved phase pool. Herein we demonstrate the in...
