Abstract
In vivo tumor imaging and delineating tumor margins serves a critical role in early detection and treatment of cancer. Together with our industrial collaborators, InnoSense LLC (Torrance, CA), we previously have developed ThermoDots™, temperature-responsive micelles that encapsulate an FDA approved near infrared (NIR) imaging agent, indocyanine green (ICG). ThermoDots enhances the signal and enable high resolution fluorescence imaging capability. In this work, they are conjugated with PSMA antibodies for prostate cancer imaging.
