Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A ferumoxytol-based dual-modality imaging probe for long-term stem cell tracking through MRI and early diagnosis of cell apoptosis through simultaneous fluorescence imaging is provided. Specifically, a ferumoxytol-based dual-modality imaging probe is provided with enhanced T 2 * relaxivity for tracking stem cells through magnetic resonance imaging and detecting apoptotic stem cells through fluorescence imaging.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A dual-modality imaging probe for simultaneous, one-stop, cell apoptosis detection and stem cell tracking, comprising: ferumoxytol with a fluorescent signature peptide immobilized on the surface of the ferumoxytol, wherein the fluorescent signature peptide is a KKKKDEVD-AFC peptide (SEQ ID NO:1).
