Viral nanoparticles as tools for intravital vascular imaging
Article Abstract:
A new strategy to use viral nanoparticles as a platform for the multivalent display of fluorescent dyes to image tissues deep inside living organisms is described. The intravital visualization of human fibrosarcoma-mediated tumor angiogenesis using fluorescent cowpea mosaic virus provides a means to identify arterial and venous vessels and monitors the neovascularization of the tumor microenvironment.
