Tissue- and organ-selective biodistribution of NIR fluorescent quantum dots.
A significant portion of the field of nanomedicine is predicated on being able to target nanoparticles to sites of disease. However, in vivo biodistribution and clearance of nanoparticles are poorly understood. In this study, a novel formulation of near-infrared fluorescent InAs(ZnS) quantum dots was synthesized and coated with a systematically increasing chain length of PEG. We found that vary...
متن کاملmicroPET-based biodistribution of quantum dots in living mice.
UNLABELLED This study evaluates the quantitative biodistribution of commercially available CdSe quantum dots (QD) in mice. METHODS (64)Cu-Labeled 800- or 525-nm emission wavelength QD (21- or 12-nm diameter), with or without 2,000 MW (molecular weight) polyethylene glycol (PEG), were injected intravenously into mice (5.55 MBq/25 pmol QD) and studied using well counting or by serial microPET a...
متن کاملChanges in Reproductive Hormones Secretion Involved in Quantum Dots-induced Reproductive Toxicity in Adult Male Mice
Background and Aims: Quantum dots (QDs), as colloidal nanocrystalline semiconductors, present QD wavelengths in terms of biomedical assays and imaging, though the high toxicity of their core demands to be taken into consideration. Investigating this subject is taken into account as an important concept concerning use of these nanoparticles in the medical applications. Materials a...
متن کاملComparison of Toxicity of CdSe: ZnS Quantum Dots on Male Reproductive System in Different Stages of Development in Mice
Background Quantum dots (QDs) are new types of fluorescent materials for biological labeling. QDs toxicity study is an essential requirement for future clinical applications. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate cytotoxic effects of CdSe: ZnS QDs on male reproductive system. MaterialsAndMethods In this experimental study, the different concentrations of CdSe: ZnS QDs (10, 20 and 40 mg/kg) we...
متن کاملBiodistribution And Clearance Of Quantum Dots In Small Animals
INTRODUCTION The many potential biomedical applications of QDs have been recently and extensively reviewed elsewhere, but progress is currently impeded by a lack of understanding of how nanostructures interact with biological systems [2]. All of the reports in the literature were unanimous in concluding that QDs show a preference for deposition in organs and tissues and that they do not remain ...
