DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A novel method for applying nanotechnology to the early detection, localization and potential treatment of ovarian cancer has been developed. Recent measurements, using live ovarian cancer cell lines and the ovarian cancer marker CA-125, have shown that the sensitivity of this method is better than 105 cells at depths of 5 - 8 cm from the sensor. This is significantly more sensitive than the 108 cells required for ultrasound or x-ray imaging. Sensitive biomagnetic sensors are used to measure the remanence fields of superparamagnetic nanoparticles conjugated with specific markers for ovarian cancer cells or pre-cancerous lesions. Measurements indicate that 104 nanoparticles attach to each cancer cell yielding a high magnetic moment/cell. An array of SQUID sensors are used to detect and localize these superparamagnetic nanoparticles. In order to develop protocols for clinical trials, experiments are proposed using nanoparticles, labeled with several ovarian markers, injected into phantom ovaries, ovarian tissue, and extracted human ovaries. Following this, multicomponent nanoparticles, containing both marker and anti-cancer molecules will be investigated for cancer destruction using magnetic concentration. In subsequent clinical applications, labeled-magnetic nanoparticles will be injected into the patient using the procedures developed in these studies.

描述（由申请人提供）：已经开发出一种将纳米技术应用于卵巢癌的早期检测、定位和潜在治疗的新方法。最近使用活卵巢癌细胞系和卵巢癌标记物 CA-125 进行的测量表明，该方法的灵敏度优于距传感器 5 - 8 cm 深度的 105 个细胞。这比超声或 X 射线成像所需的 108 个细胞要灵敏得多。灵敏的生物磁传感器用于测量与卵巢癌细胞或癌前病变的特定标记物结合的超顺磁性纳米粒子的剩磁场。测量结果表明，104 个纳米粒子附着在每个癌细胞上，产生高磁矩/细胞。一系列 SQUID 传感器用于检测和定位这些超顺磁性纳米颗粒。为了制定临床试验方案，建议使用带有多种卵巢标记物的纳米颗粒进行实验，将其注射到幻影卵巢、卵巢组织和提取的人类卵巢中。此后，将使用磁浓缩研究含有标记分子和抗癌分子的多组分纳米颗粒对癌症的破坏作用。在随后的临床应用中，将使用这些研究中开发的程序将标记的磁性纳米颗粒注射到患者体内。
