This document provides the steps for paying with VA funding in iLab, for core customers. If your lab pays for UWCCC shared resource services and equipment usage in iLab using UW funding strings as well as VA funding, use the workflow described in this document to pay for services and equipment usage with VA funding.
Note: The workflow for paying for services and equipment usage with UW funding strings has not changed.

In vivo cancer iamging by poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(ɛ-caprolactone) micelles containing a near-infrared probe

Posted on

Cho et al. Noninvasive near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging is a promising technique for the intraoperative assessment of solid tumor removal. We incorporated a lipophilic NIR probe, 1,1′-dioctadecyltetramethyl indotricarbocyanine iodide (DiR), in poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(ɛcaprolactone) (PEG-b-PCL) micelles, resulting in DiR solubilization in water, occupying nanoscopic PEG-b-PCL micelles. DiR in a self quenched
or nonquenched state showed different kinetics of release from PEG-b-PCL micelles in vitro; however, both obtained high tumor delineation (tumor-to-muscle ratio of 30–43 from collected organs). These results suggest that PEG-b-PCL micelles with DiR are a promising nanosized imaging agent that will provide a basis for enhanced surgical guidance via NIR visualization of tumors.
