Abstract:

A new fluorescence molecular imaging probe Cy7-Rituximab was synthesized through the connection of fluorescence Cy7 dye and protein Rituximab. The probe was fully characterized by fluorescence spectrophotometer, SDS-PAGE and confocal microscopy. The uptake of Cy7-Rituximab probe in DLBCL cells was observed by laser scanning confocal microscope. Cy7-Rituximab probe of 0.4 mL(0.6 mg/mL) was injected to BALB/C nude mice through tail vein. The biodistribution of the novel probe Cy7-Rituximab was eventually observed, especially its specific concentration in spleen.

Key words: Optical imaging probe, Living imaging, CD20 antigen, Rituximab
