Targeted NIR-II emissive nanoprobes for tumor detection in mice and rabbits

Chem Commun (Camb). 2021 Jun 29;57(52):6420-6423. doi: 10.1039/d1cc01804c.

Abstract

The functional NIR-II emissive nanoprobe loaded with AIEgen (cRGD-TTB NPs) achieved a high quantum yield (10.32%) and a high signal-to-background (S/B) ratio of 7.7 when employed for the visualization of large tumors (∼600 mm3) in rabbit models for the first time. This work will aid in the investigation of tumor targeting effect of therapeutic agents in large animal models.
