Here, we describe an easy but robust chemical strategy to synthesize high-performance magnetic resonance (MR)/near-infrared (NIR) multimodal imaging nanoprobes. Poly(gamma-glutamic acid) was used for the convenient phase transfer of MnFe2O4 nanoparticles dispersed in organic solvents into aqueous solutions and facilitated further Ionic gelation with poly(L-lysine). During the gelation process, MnFe2O4 nanoparticulate satellites were encapsulated in the ionic nanocomplex, which Induced synergistic magnetism and resulted in huge T-2 relaxivity (r(2)). The positively charged outer surfaces were assembled with other negatively charged NIR emitting fluorescent nanocrystals and enabled the highly efficient delivery of the magnetofluorescent polyelectrolyte nanocomposites (MagFL-PEN) into cancer cells. The enhancement of negative contrast of MagFL-PEN at 2 mu g/mL concentration was similar to that of Resovist at 20 mu g/mL concentration. The NIR fluorescence microscopy images of the MagFL-PEN-labeled cells even at 12.5 pM were able to be clearly observed. The labeling efficiency of MagFL-PEN was approximately 65-fold higher compared to that of the commercialized fluorescent nanocrystals, only after 3 h incubation period, even at the test concentration (100 pM). Due to the high-performance capabilities both in materials properties and cell labeling efficiency, the MagFL-PEN is expected to be used as a highly efficient MR/NIR dual-modality imaging nanoprobe In the detection of cancer cells and monitoring of therapeutic cells in vivo.
