Targeted Antiangiogenesis Gene Therapy Using Targeted Cationic Microbubbles Conjugated with CD105 Antibody Compared with Untargeted Cationic and Neutral Microbubbles
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to develop targeted cationic microbubbles conjugated with a CD105 antibody (CMB105) for use in targeted vascular endothelial cell gene therapy and ultrasound imaging. We compared the results with untargeted cationic microbubbles (CMB) and neutral microbubbles (NMB). METHODS CMB105 were prepared and compared with untargeted CMB and NMB. First, the microbubbles were c...
متن کاملCationic gas-filled microbubbles for ultrasound-based nucleic acids delivery
The use of ultrasound has gained great interest for nucleic acids delivery. Ultrasound can reach deep tissues in non-invasive manner. The process of sonoporation is based on the use of low-frequency ultrasound combined with gas-filled microbubbles (MBs) allowing an improved delivery of molecules including nucleic acids in the insonified tissue. For in vivo gene transfer, the engineering of cati...

today, scouring is one of the important topics in the river and coastal engineering so that the most destruction in the bridges is occurred due to this phenomenon. whereas the bridges are assumed as the most important connecting structures in the communications roads in the country and their importance is doubled while floodwater, thus exact design and maintenance thereof is very crucial. f...
Oxymatrine liposome attenuates hepatic fibrosis via targeting hepatic stellate cells.
AIM To investigate the potential mechanism of Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) peptide-labeled liposome loading oxymatrine (OM) therapy in CCl₄-induced hepatic fibrosis in rats. METHODS We constructed a rat model of CCl₄-induced hepatic fibrosis and treated the rats with different formulations of OM. To evaluate the antifibrotic effect of OM, we detected levels of alkaline phosphatase, hepatic histopatholog...
متن کاملUltrasound with microbubbles
Conventional ultrasound has well known short comings in the detection and characterisation of focal liver lesions. A false negative rate of up to 30% has been quoted in the detection of liver metastases and its accuracy in the characterisation of focal liver lesions is poor compared to computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR). Ultrasound microbubble contrast agents have redressed th...
