Abstract
This study investigated the combination of two contrast agents for ex vivo cancer detection in breast tissues. Samples were stained with molecular marker pH Low Insertion Peptide (pHLIP) conjugated with fluorescent dye Alexa532 (pHLIP–Alexa532), and intravital stain Methylene Blue (MB), and imaged with a high-resolution confocal microscope. Resulting images display cellular morphology with staining patterns mimicking Hematoxylin and Eosin histopathology and show promise for the method used as a tool for breast cancer detection in biopsies or intraoperatively.
