Graphical Abstract

Bläschen fangen: Tetrazin-funktionalisierte Mikrobläschen wurden für die Nutzung als Ultraschall-Kontrastmittel aufgebaut und lokalisierten selektiv Zellen, die mit TCO-derivatisierten Antikörpern gegen VEGFR2 markiert waren. Diese Abfangmethode basiert auf Markierung und bioorthogonaler Chemie, und wurde in einer Durchflusskammer und in vivo durch Ultraschallaufnahmen von VEGFR2-positiven und -negativen Maustumormodellen validiert. TCO=trans-Cycloocten.
