研究目的
To develop a hybrid imaging approach combining PET/CT with optical imaging for the diagnosis and localization of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) caused by Aspergillus fumigatus.
研究成果
The study demonstrates the feasibility of modifying TAFC with fluorescent dyes for hybrid imaging of IPA. Although fluorophore choice significantly affects targeting and pharmacokinetics, certain conjugates like [68Ga]Ga‐DAFC‐Cy5/SulfoCy7 and ‐IRDye 800CW show promise for combining PET/CT with optical imaging applications.
研究不足
The study highlights the influence of fluorophores on targeting and pharmacokinetics, suggesting that not all conjugates are equally effective for hybrid imaging. The specificity and uptake efficiency vary significantly among different fluorophore conjugates.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection
The study aimed to chemically modify TAFC with fluorescent dyes for hybrid imaging applications. The methodology included conjugation of different fluorescent dyes to [Fe]DAFC, radiolabelling with gallium‐68, and characterization through in vitro and in vivo experiments.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources
A. fumigatus cultures were used for uptake and growth assays. An IPA rat model was employed for in vivo PET/CT and optical imaging studies.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials
Fluorescent dyes (Cy5, SulfoCy5, SulfoCy7, IRDye 800CW, ATTO700), 68Ge/68Ga‐generator, Leica TCS SP5 II inverted confocal laser scanning microscope, Albira PET/SPECT/CT small animal imaging system, Bruker MI SE software.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow
Synthesis of fluorophore conjugates, radiolabelling with gallium‐68, in vitro characterization (distribution coefficient, protein binding, uptake assays, growth promotion assays, fluorescence microscopy), in vivo characterization (μPET/CT and optical imaging in an IPA rat model).
5:Data Analysis Methods
Data were analyzed using Excel, PMOD software, and Bruker MI SE software for imaging analysis.
