Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging possesses many advantages as an in vivo non-invasive optical imaging modality for studying diseases in preclinical models. In this study, low density lipoprotein(LDL) fraction was quickly isolated from human plasma by modified heparin-citrate precipitation method and then conjugated to near infrared fluorescence dye ICG-Der-02 with excitation and emission wavelengths at 760nm and 830nm, respectively. The conjugates LDL-ICG-Der-02 were intravenously injected into the mice bearing different tumor models. And real time series fluorescence tumor images at different intervals of post-injection were in vivo acquired by a self-built NIR reflectance fluorescence imaging system. Results demonstrated that LDL-ICG-Der-02 conjugates could efficiently target to the tumor sites that over-expressed LDL receptors and could be completely eliminated at last.
