Abstract

Flying south for the winter! Polymeric nanoparticles were synthesized using either a photoinduced or base-catalyzed free-radical polymerization method. The particles (1 = 5 0 nm), loaded with a dye (IR-786), were observed to migrate over 20 cm to the sentinel lymph node after injection in a live pig. (Chemical Equation Presented)
