Surface Modulation of Magnetic Nanocrystals in the Development of Highly Efficient Magnetic Resonance Probes for Intracellular Labeling

Abstract: High-quality biocompatible magnetic iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanocrystals were developed through a ligand exchange process of hydrophobically capped nanocrystals with hydrophilic molecules. By simple modulation of the nanocrystal surface ligand charge properties, we have been able to prepare magnetic nanocrystals with excellent intracellular labeling capabilities that efficiently label a variety of cell types without the need for additional transport facilitating agents. The excellent intracellular labeling capabili… Show more

“…tissues, blood and single cells). [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] In microarray and microspot techniques, spatial resolution of individual reactive sites on a chip is extremely important. At the same time, improved labeling and detection technologies are required to analyze smaller sample volumes and to measure samples on a limited solid-phase area.…”

“…The usefulness of the multi-component nanoparticle probes is not limited to diagnostic purposes only. These hybrid nanoparticles can be used as probes for biological processes such as cell trafficking and gene delivery under in vitro and in vivo conditions when conjugated with the biologically active species such as stem cells and viruses [17] and [18]. When target specificity and tissue regeneration capabilities are imparted by endocytosis of the magnetic nanoparticles into the stem cells, the composite nanoparticles can be used as dual-function probes possessing both in vivo MRI trafficking and stem cell functions [19].…”

“…Moreover, the T 2 relaxation rate of 5×10 4 cells is 6.2 s −1 , and still more than twice of the controlled cells (2.3 s −1 ). When used for in vivo monitoring purpose, usually 5×10 5 to 3×10 7 cells were transplanted or injected into small animal models [29,30]. It is possible that SPIO micelle labeled cells would provide noticeable signal contrast to other cells during tracking procedure.…”
