Abstract
A highly specific and powerful magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent has been prepared by coating magnetite (Fe3O4) particles with monoclonal antibodies directed against a tumor antigen. The preparation maintains both the immunoreactivity of the monoclonal antibody and the full relaxing capability of the magnetite particle. MRI image contrast by spin-echo methods can be easily induced in a concentration range of 1-10 nM of the antibody-coated magnetite particles.Entities:
