Abstract

Temporal profiles of polarized fluorescence emitted from receptor-targeted contrast agents: Cybesin and Cytate, in prostate tissues were studied using ultrafast time-resolved spectroscopy. An analytical model was developed and used to investigate rotational dynamics and fluorescence polarization anisotropies of the contrast agents in prostate tissues from the measured data. The differences of rotational times and polarization anisotropies were observed for Cybesin (Cytate) in cancerous and normal prostate tissues, which reflect changes of micro-structures of cancerous and normal tissues, and their different bound affinity with contrast agents. This research may be used to develop better optical methods for in situ prostate cancer detection.
