Abstract

Given their tunable optical properties and high optical absorption and scattering cross sections, gold nanoshells (GNS) have been explored for a number of in vitro and in vivo imaging contrast and cancer therapy agents. While it has been shown that GNSs preferentially accumulate at the tumor site, little is known about the accumulation kinetics within the tumor. We demonstrate accumulation kinetics of GNSs in bulk tumors and histology slides using two-photon induced photoluminescence (TPIP) imaging. We found that GNSs had a heterogeneous distribution with higher accumulation at the tumor cortex. In addition, GNSs were observed in unique patterns surrounding the perivascular region. These results demonstrate that direct luminescence based imaging of metal nanoparticles provides high resolution and molecular specific multiplexed images.
