Funded Activity Summary

Isotope labelled protein probes, eg. antibodies, are a valuable imaging tool in investigating patient disease. Their biological specificity is their great strength, however, detection sensitivity often limits their use. A novel nanoparticle developed at ANU can increase this signal by a million-fold in comparison with conventional methods of labelling. This approach suits a range of probes and will accommodate many of the isotopes already used in patient diagnostics and therapy.
