Tumor microvasculature targeting with dendrimer-entrapped gold nanoparticles.
Monodisperse dendrimer-entrapped gold nanoparticles (diameter = 3.0 nm) were prepared using G5 poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimer functionalized with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FI) and Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) peptide as template; in vitro targeting efficacy to integrin receptor expressing cells was confirmed by flow cytometry, confocal microscopy, and ICP-MS.
متن کاملImproved biocompatibility of surface functionalized dendrimer- entrapped gold nanoparticles{
Gold nanoparticles (NPs) have recently received immense scientific and technological interest because of their extensive applications in biology, catalysis, and nanotechnology. In most of these applications, the gold NP surfaces are modified with different functionalities. For instance, alkanethiol and alkylamine molecules are used for phase transfer of gold NPs, and oligonucleotide molecules a...
متن کاملSynthesis of PEGylated low generation dendrimer-entrapped gold nanoparticles for CT imaging applications.
Dendrimer-entrapped gold nanoparticles (Au DENPs) can be formed using low-generation dendrimers pre-modified by polyethylene glycol (PEG). The formed PEGylated Au DENPs with desirable stability, cytocompatibility, and X-ray attenuation properties enable efficient computed tomography imaging of the heart and tumor model of mice.
متن کاملA highly effective polymerase chain reaction enhancer based on dendrimer-entrapped gold nanoparticles.
In molecular biology, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has played an important role but suffers a general problem of low efficiency and specificity. Development of suitable PCR additives to improve the specificity and efficiency still remains a great challenge. Here we report the use of dendrimer-entrapped gold nanoparticles (Au DENPs) as a novel class of enhancers to improve the specificity and...
متن کاملPolyethylene glycol-modified dendrimer-entrapped gold nanoparticles enhance CT imaging of blood pool in atherosclerotic mice
We report a new use of dendrimer-entrapped gold nanoparticles (Au DENPs) modified by polyethylene glycol (PEG) with good biocompatibility for in vitro and in vivo imaging of atherosclerotic mice by computed tomography (CT). In this study, Au DENPs were synthesized using poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers of generation 5 (G5.NH2) modified by PEG monomethyl ether (G5.NH2-mPEG20) as templates. In...
