      García de Jalón, Elvira; Kleinmanns, Katrin; Fosse, Vibeke Samuelsen; Davidson, Ben; Bjørge, Line; Haug, Bengt Erik; McCormack, Emmet (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Purpose Fluorescence imaging (FLI) using targeted near-infrared (NIR) conjugates aids the detection of tumour lesions pre- and intraoperatively. The optimisation of tumour visualisation and contrast is essential and can ...
    • CytoCy5S™, a compound of many structures. in vitro and in vivo evaluation of four near-infrared fluorescent substrates of nitroreductase (NTR) 

      García de Jalón, Elvira; Ruiz de Garibay, Gorka; Haug, Bengt Erik; Mccormack, Emmet Matin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      CytoCy5S™, a quenched, red-shifted fluorescent probe, has been used to exploit the imaging potential of the nitroreductase (NTR) reporter gene platform. Its use has been reported in a number of publications, however there ...
