Viral Nanoparticles Donning a Paramagnetic Coat: Conjugation of MRI Contrast Agents to the MS2 Capsid

Anderson, Elizabeth A., Isaacman, Steven, Peabody, David S., Wang, Edwin Y., Canary, James W., Kirshenbaum, Kent·2006·Nano Letters

Abstract

A nanoparticle magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent was developed by conjugation of more than 500 gadolinium chelate groups onto a viral capsid. The high density of paramagnetic centers and slow tumbling rate of modified MS2 capsids provided enhanced T1 relaxivities up to 7200 mM-1s-1 per particle. A bimodal imaging agent was generated by sequential conjugation of fluorescein and Gd3+ chelate. These results illustrate the potential for engineering natural protein assemblies to address bionanotechnology applications.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
