Abstract
We have developed infrared fluorescence endoscope (IRFE) and ICG-derivative as infrared fluorescence labeling materials. Specific antibodies tagged with ICG-derivative with the reinforcement agent can label cancer cells and can generate a strong enough fluorescent signal to detect small cancers when examined with an IRFE.
