MULTIFUNCTIONAL NANOSTRUCTURES AS TRIMODAL MRI/OI/SPECT DIAGNOSIS AGENTS

摘要

The invention relates to multifunctional nanostructures consisting of a ferritin characterised in that it comprises at least one quantum dot and at least one molecule of a biocompatible polymer, both of which are covalently bound to the surface of the ferritin. The invention also relates to a method for obtaining said nanostructures, and to the use thereof as a drug, preferably for the diagnosis of cancer or as a contrast agent.
