Experimental verification of targeting
The nanoparticles according to
Seek &
Heal™ targeting
technology
adheres to foreign cells in
the human
body and releases their content of
pharmaceutical
substance.
Seek &
Heal™ nanoparticles were
charged
with a colored dye, insoluble
in water. A solution
containing these
particles
was added to a Petri
dish
containing
bacteria E coli that had
been
grown
overnight.
The images at right show bacteria,
targeted
with
the
colored dye.
The
upper image shows the Petri
dish
with bacteria, three hours after addition
of the Seek &
Heal™ targeting particles.
The lower images show details
from
the Petri
dish
after 0, 3, 6
and 26 hours
respectively
(top to
bottom).
Targeting of bacteria
is clearly visible,
as seen by
increased concentration
of color.
During targeting and shaking when
photographing
the bacteria colonies
became slightly disintegrated.
