IVISense™ Transferrin Receptor 750 is a NIR fluorescent probe for imaging transferrin receptor levels in vivo. It detects changes in iron metabolism linked to cancer, inflammation, and drug-induced liver injury, as well as normal receptor expression in the liver. Transferrin plays a key role in iron transport, essential for cell growth and metabolism.

IVISense Transferrin Receptor 750 is a targeted fluorescent imaging probe, where recombinant transferrin is conjugated to an IVISense fluorescent dye, designed to bind to transferrin receptors (TfRs) expressed in cancer cells. Because of rapid cell division and stringent demand for iron (for heme synthesis), many cancer cell types overexpress TfRs. It has been used as a targeting agent for cancer cells. In addition, TfR accumulates in locals of inflammation due to the leakage of plasma proteins and to the expression of TfR receptors by inflammatory cells. During inflammation monocytes leave the blood and differentiate into macrophages at the extravascular tissues, macrophages express surface Tf receptors.
