Abstract

This video demonstrates a technique for the detection of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoprobes, conjugated to Mycobacterium-specific antibodies, are injected into a mouse previously infected with Mycobacterium bovis BCG, labeling the granuloma and providing a better imaging contrast for its detection.
Protocol
All procedures involving animal models have been reviewed by the local institutional animal care committee and the JoVE veterinary review board. 1. SPIO-MtbsAb synthesis Synthesize SPIO-conjugated 2,2'-(ethylenedioxy)bisethylamine (EDBE) using previously reported methods. Synthesize SPIO-EDBE-succinic anhydride (SA). Stir an alkaline solution (5 M NaOH; 10 mL)) of SPIO-EDBE and SA (1 g; 10 µmol) at room temperature for 24 h. <l…
