IRDye 800CW BoneTag Optical Probe is a calcium-chelating compound conjugated to IRDye 800CW near-infrared dye. Using IRDye NIR dyes extends fluorescence signal detection to the near-infrared fluorescent region of the spectrum without affecting the compound’s ability to function as a marker of the mineralization process. NIR fluorescence detection improves depth of penetration due to low tissue autofluorescence, translating to low background interference.
Calcium-chelating compounds have been used effectively for the detection of bone mineralization, growth, and morphological changes, including tetracycline derivatives, xylenol orange, alizarin, calcein, and fluorescein. NIR-labeled pamidronate has also been successfully used for detection of arterial calcification in non-invasive optical imaging1.
The ability to visualize bone anatomy and structures for an extended period facilitates use of the IRDye BoneTag in conjunction with a second optical agent specific for a primary target (i.e., tumor tissue). In addition, IRDye 800CW BoneTag may prove effective for studies dealing with bone metastasis and bone remodeling studies.
IRDye 800CW BoneTag 光学探针是一种与 IRDye 800CW 近红外染料结合的钙螯合化合物。使用 IRDye NIR 染料将荧光信号检测扩展到光谱的近红外荧光区域,而不会影响化合物作为矿化过程标记的能力。 NIR 荧光检测由于组织自发荧光低而提高了穿透深度,从而转化为低背景干扰。
钙螯合化合物已被有效地用于检测骨矿化、生长和形态变化,包括四环素衍生物、二甲酚橙、茜素、钙黄绿素和荧光素。 NIR 标记的帕米膦酸盐也已成功用于检测无创光学成像中的动脉钙化1。
长时间可视化骨骼解剖和结构的能力有助于将 IRDye BoneTag 与特定于主要目标(即肿瘤组织)的第二种光学试剂结合使用。此外,IRDye 800CW BoneTag 可能证明对处理骨转移和骨重塑研究的研究有效。
