The objective of this work was to establish a novel and robust technology, based on electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) oximetry, as a practical tool for measurement of tumor oxygen. Previously, we have reported on the development of oxygen-sensing paramagnetic crystals (LiNc-BuO) encapsulated in a biocompatible polymer, called OxyChip. In this report we present our recent data on the use of OxyChip for pO measurements in the tumor of a pre-clinical, large-animal rabbit model. The results establish that OxyChip is capable of noninvasive and repeated measurement of pO in a large animal model.
这项工作的目标是建立一种基于电子顺磁共振(EPR)血氧测定法的新颖且强大的技术,作为测量肿瘤氧含量的实用工具。此前,我们已报道了一种封装在名为OxyChip的生物相容性聚合物中的氧敏感顺磁晶体(LiNc-BuO)的研发情况。在本报告中,我们展示了关于在临床前大型动物兔模型的肿瘤中使用OxyChip进行pO测量的最新数据。结果表明,OxyChip能够在大型动物模型中对pO进行无创且重复的测量。
