COATING PERSISTENT LUMINESCENCE NANOPARTICLES WITH HYDROPHILIC POLYMERS FOR IN VIVO IMAGING

Persistent luminescence nanoparticles (PLNPs) are innovative nanomaterials highly useful for bioimaging applications.Indeed, due to their particular optical properties, i.e., the ability to store the excitation energy before slowly releasing it for a prolonged period of time, they allow in vivo ilootpaperie imaging without auto-fluorescence and wit

Abstract Background Xenograft samples used to test anti-cancer drug efficacies and toxicities in vivo contain an unknown mix of mouse and human cells.Evaluation of drug activity can be confounded by samples containing large amounts of contaminating mouse tissue.We have developed a real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assay using
