Abstract: | Superparamagnetic dextran nanoparticles were prepared by coprecipitation. Effects of concentration of dextran, amount of ironic salts, stirring speed, concentration of ammonium hydroxide and mole ratio of Fe3+/Fe2+ on the effective diameter of dextran magnetic nanopartides (DMNP) were studied. Dextran immunological magnetic nanoparticles (DIMNP) were formed by the reaction of the monoclonal anti-human mammary cancer antibody with DMNP oxidized by sodium periodate, and the properties of magnetic susceptibility, shape and retention of antibody activity were investigated. The in vitro cancer antigen binding ability of DIMNP was demonstrated by radioimmunoassay, and the in vivo magnetic localization and antibody targeting ability of radiolabeled DIMNP were studied. |
