Research Abstract |
In order to enhance the sensitivity and reliability of PET imaging, we proposed a novel strategy of amplifying tumor molecular marker, and attempted to develop multifunctional "tumor-targeting host nanoparticle-guest PET tracer system". PAMAM dendrimer - cyclodextrin (PAMAM-CD) as host nanoparticle, and several C-11 labeled carborane derivatives as guest PET tracers was designed and prepared. Such kind of host nanoparticle-guest PET tracer system could be applied to the supersensitive imaging for cancer diagnosis and imaging-guided therapy.
