| Research Abstract |
We aimed to develop dual-modality imaging probes with Tc-99m and fluorescent dyes using surface-modified silica nanoparticles for the image of malignant tumors. Polyamidoamine coated silica nanoparticles, PCSNs, were conjugated with indocyanine green and then labeled with Tc-99m. Anti-HER2 antibodies were covalently combined with the labeled PCSNs.The dual-modality imaging probes were injected in athymic mice with xenografted breast tumors through the tail vain. The xenografted SKBR3 tumors, HER2-overexpressing tumors, showed high fluorescence signal-intensities contrast to the low signal-intensities in the xenografted MDA-MB231 tumors in which HER2 expression was low. Radioactivity in the SKBR3 tumors also increased compared to that in the SKBR3 tumors. The results revealed that this dual-modality imaging probes may be beneficial to delineate the high-fluorescent lesions with anatomical configurations in surgical procedures after detection of the deep situated lesions by gamma rays.
