POLYMER NANOPARTICLE AND CONTRAST AGENT FOR OPTICAL MOLECULAR IMAGING

摘要

Provided are polymer nanoparticles each having a fluorescent dye dispersed in the matrix of a fluorescent polymer, characterized in that the surface of the nanoparticles is protected by a surfactant and fluorescence is emitted via FRET between the fluorescent polymer and the fluorescent dye, and a contrast agent for optical molecular imaging using the polymer nanoparticles.
