Application

Patent Blue VF has been used:
  • in combination with 99mTc phytate to detect sentinel lymph node (SLN) in early stage cervical cancer patients.
  • to detect heat shock protein (HSP) gp96 induced draining lymph nodes (LNs) in mice.
  • to detect the effect of Asn-Gly-Arg (NGR)-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) on tumor perfusion in murine model.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Patent Blue VF dye is a violet colored powder. It has been used in cosmetic coloring.
