VISUALIZING AGENT COMPRISING A MAGNETIC NANOPARTICLE AND VISUALIZING METHOD BY USING THE SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to a visualizing agent comprising a magnetic nanoparticle labeled with a luminescent organic dye, and a method of visualizing a Bonghan Duct inside a lymphatic vessel which comprises injecting a magnetic nanoparticle labeled with a luminescent organic dye into the lymphatic tissue, allowing the uptake of the magnetic nanoparticle in the tissue, and performing microscopy observation. The present invention provides a major breakthrough in cellular anatomy and physiology. Further studies of its histological aspects and physiological functions suggest the possibility of critical new insights in both biology and medicine.
