Data from Imaging Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Expression <i>In vivo</i>: Pharmacokinetic and Biodistribution Characterization of a Bioconjugated Quantum Dot Nanoprobe
Abstract:<div>Abstract<p><b>Purpose:</b> To develop and validate an optical imaging nanoprobe for the discrimination of epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor (EGFR)–overexpressing tumors from surrounding normal tissues that also expresses EGFR.</p><p><b>Experimental Design:</b> Near-infrared (NIR) quantum dots (QD) were coupled to EGF using thiol-maleimide conjugation to create EGF-QD nanoprobes. <i>In vitro</i> binding affinity of these nanoprobes and unconj… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
