Lanthanide-Based, Near-Infrared Luminescent and Magnetic Lipoparticles: Monitoring Particle Integrity.
Résumé
Near-infrared emitting, magnetic particles for combined optical and MR detection based on liposomes or artificial lipoproteins are presented. They provide a novel strategy for the luminescence sensitization of lanthanide cations (Yb(3+) , Nd(3+) ) without covalent bonds between the chromophore and the lanthanide, and provide an unambiguous tool for monitoring the integrity of the liponanoparticles, via emission in the NIR region.
