SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF NEAR IR FLUORESCENT MAGNETIC AND NON-MAGNETIC ALBUMIN NANOPARTICLES FOR BIOMEDICAL APPLICATIONS

摘要

The present invention discloses Near Infrared (NIR) fluorescent albumin nanoparticles having a structure selected from a core structure or a core-shell structure. Also disclosed are a process of preparing these NIR fluorescent albumin nanoparticles, and a method of in vivo detection of pathologies, in particular cancer pathology, by using administering these NIR fluorescent albumin nanoparticles to a patient.
