BLOOD CLOT-TARGETED NANOPARTICLES

摘要

Emulsions comprising nanoparticles formed from high boiling perfluorochemical substances, said particles coated with a lipid/surfactant coating are made target-specific by directly coupling said nanoparticles to a targeting ligand. The nanoparticles may further include biologically active agents, radionuclides, and/or other imaging agents, and are used to image and/or lyse blood clots in human subjects.
