Description
Catalogue Number | P04000 | |
Description | Targeted contrast agent for angiogenesis molecular imaging. P04000 targets ανβ3 integrin over-expressed on the neo-vessels.Nano-emulsion containing iron oxide particles, designed for T2*w MR sequences | |
Main Applications | Evaluation of angiogenesis status, evaluation of anti-tumoral treatment follow up based on ανβ3-expression | |
Molecular characteristics |
– Hydrodynamic size: diameter is 180 nm
– Fe content: ~106 Fe atoms per particle – Integrin targeting: 3 500 RGD per particles – Recommended dose: 200 μmolFe/kg = 2.5 μL/g Example: for a 30g body weight mouse, injection volume is 75 μL – Recommended imaging time: up to 1h post injection (unbound contrast agent cleared from the blood) – Contrast mechanism: susceptibility effect – Histology: Perl’s staining – In vitro quantification techniques: P04000 is a Fe-based contrast agent. Thus, it is necessary to take into account the endogenous iron content for quantification in biological media by ICP-AES or ICP-MS. Another way for USPIO quantification is relaxometry, which is poorly sensitive to endogenous iron content. |
