Item type:Publication, Access status: with files , Encapsulation of new MPI tracer nanoparticles in the human red blood cells(Infinite Science Publishing, 2020-09-02); ; ; ; Although Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) is not yet in clinical use, it is highly promising for several medical ap-plications, and especially for applications in diagnostic vascular in vivo imaging and imaging-guided vascular interventions. Furthermore, in the last years, different superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) based contrast agents have been developed and approved for niche clinical applications in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) as alterna-tive to Gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) due to the risk for patients suffering from kidney dysfunction or nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF). Recently, the potential of RBCs loaded with different SPIO nanoparticles as blood-pool tracer agents with longer blood retention time for MRI and MPI has been investigated. Here, we report the first in vitro results with the highly efficient dextran-based MPI tracer particles perimag® and synomag®-D to study their eligibility to be encapsulated into human RBCs and the potential of these new SPIO-RBC constructs as tracer material for MPI.Publicationtype: Journal ArticleScopus© Citations 3 70 113 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Access status: without files , Development of long circulating magnetic particle imaging tracers: use of novel magnetic nanoparticles and entrapment into human erythrocytesAim: Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) is highly promising for biomedical applications, but optimal tracers for MPI, namely superparamagnetic iron oxide-based contrast agents, are still lacking. Materials & methods: The encapsulation of commercially available nanoparticles, specifically synomag®-D and perimag®, into human red blood cells (RBCs) was performed by a hypotonic dialysis and isotonic resealing procedure. The amounts of superparamagnetic iron oxide incorporated into RBCs were determined by Fe quantification using nuclear magnetic resonance and magnetic particle spectroscopy. Results: Perimag-COOH nanoparticles were identified as the best nanomaterial for encapsulation in RBCs. Perimag-COOH-loaded RBCs proved to be viable cells showing a good magnetic particle spectroscopy performance, while the magnetic signal of synomag-D-COOH-loaded RBCs dropped sharply. Conclusion: Perimag-COOH-loaded RBCs could be a potential tool for MPI diagnostic applications.Publicationtype: Journal Article178
