Abstract
Paramagnetic or superparamagnetic nanoparticle-ligand conjugates that include a recognition ligand that interacts with a component on the surface of a prostate cancer cell. Nanoparticle-ligand conjugates of the invention may be used for magnetic resonance imaging of prostate cancer, or for treatment of tumors by targeted thermal ablation.
Claims22
A nanoparticle-ligand conjugate comprising at least one paramagnetic or superparamagnetic nanoparticle;
- and at least one recognition ligand that selectively binds to a component on the surface of a prostate cancer cell.
