Characterization of MRI contrast agent-loaded polymeric nanocapsules as versatile vehicle for targeted imaging.

abstract：:Self-aggregation of dyes even at low concentrations poses a considerable challenge in preparing sufficiently bright molecular probes for in vivo imaging, particularly in the conjugation of near infrared cyanine dyes to polypeptides with multiple labeling sites. Such self-aggregation leads to a significant energy trans...
