A photoacoustic nanoprobe is self-assembled from human serum albumin and two types of dye molecules, one is inert to pH and the other is pH sensitive. This probe and the quantitative ratiometric photoacoustic pH imaging method are shown to have high safety, be easy-to-operate, and have depth-independent accuracy for real-time in vivo pH imaging of entire tumors. These features make them promising for future cancer prognosis and therapeutic planning.
一种光声纳米探针由人血清白蛋白和两种染料分子自组装而成，其中一种染料分子对 pH 值不敏感，另一种染料分子对 pH 值敏感。该探针和定量比率光声 pH 成像方法具有高安全性、易于操作以及对整个肿瘤进行实时体内 pH 成像的深度独立性和准确性等特点，有望用于癌症预后和治疗计划。
