Charged-balanced imaging agents |
摘要 |
The present invention relates to compositions and methods of optically imaging tissues or cells using imaging agents have in vivo properties that result in signal-to-background ratios of at least about 1:1. TL is a targeting ligand and n is −1, 0 or +1.; |

1. A method of imaging tissue or cells, the method comprising:
(a) contacting the tissue or cells with an imaging agent comprising a dye; (b) irradiating the tissue or cells at a wavelength absorbed by the dye; (c) detecting an optical signal from the irradiated tissue or cells, wherein the signal-to-background ratio of the detected optical signal is at least about 1.1, thereby imaging the tissue or cells; wherein the dye has the formula X:or an ester thereof, which permits covalent conjugation of the fluorophore to targeting ligands. |
