Abstract

This invention provides a CD147-targeting nano-ultrasound contrast agent, its preparation method, and its application. The contrast agent comprises: microbial-derived gas vesicles and CD147 nanoantibodies linked to the surface of the gas vesicles via a coupling agent. The hollow nanostructure of the gas vesicles in this invention endows the contrast agent with highly efficient acoustic reflection capabilities, significantly improving the ultrasound signal intensity. The CD147 nanoantibodies possess high affinity and high specificity, enabling precise recognition of the CD147 antigen on the surface of tumor cells. This invention uses biosynthesized gas vesicles instead of traditional chemically synthesized gas microbubbles, combined with a simple and efficient coupling process, significantly reducing preparation difficulty and equipment dependence. The contrast agent of this invention overcomes the shortcomings of existing technologies in imaging performance, targeting, preparation process, safety, and multifunctional diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities, providing a novel technical pathway for precision diagnosis and treatment of tumors.
