Abstract:Purpose. A bimodal nanoprobe for thyroid cancer targeting human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) was synthesized by coupling the magnetic resonance contrast agent Gd3+ with the fluorescent dyes Cy5.5 and pertuzumab as a preliminary study of Gd-Cy5.5-pertuzumab in magnetic resonance and fluorescence imaging. Methods. The bifunctional chelate p-SCN-Bn-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic-acid (DOTA) was dissolved in deionized water, added to pertuzumab solution, and stirred overnight at r… 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.
