Highly Sensitive Gandolinium MRI Contrast Reagent
Description of the technology offer
New approach to concentrate and encapsulate significantly higher levels of MRI-detectable gandolinium complex into apoferritin than current conventional methods
New and innovative aspects
Researchers have developed an approach to concentrate and encapsulate significantly higher levels of MRI-detectable gandolinium complex into apoferritin than current conventional methods. The resulting MRI contract reagents have 3-10 times higher relaxivity than that of commercially available MRI contrast agents (see the attachment).
Also, chemical modifications of apoferritin with hydrophilic polymers such as dextran and poly(ethylene glycol) improves the stealth abil... read more
