Provided are a mussel adhesive protein-mimetic dispersion stabilizing agent to disperse nanoparticles in an aqueous medium, a colloidal solution including nanoparticles dispersed and stabilized by the dispersion stabilizing agent, and a contrast agent including the colloidal solution. More particularly, the mussel adhesive protein-mimetic dispersion stabilizer is a polyethyleneimine-graft-(poly-ethyleneglycol;polyDOPA) PEI-graft-(PEG;PDOPA). The graft polymer is formed of two parts. One is polyethyleneglycol grafted with a polyethyleneime which has an affinity to an aqueous medium, and the other is polyDOPA which has an affinity to the surface of nanoparticles. Because of those characteristics, the stabilizer shows a stable dispersion of nano particles in the aqueous medium.

Provided are a contrast agent for contrast imaging lymph node, which includes iron oxide nanoparticles dispersed and stabilized in an aqueous medium by a mussel adhesive protein-mimetic copolymer, a method for contrast enhanced lymphography using the foregoing contrast agent, and a method for diagnosis of lymph node cancers using the foregoing contrast agent. Using such a mussel adhesive protein-mimetic copolymer, the surface of iron oxide is modified and dispersed well in water to prepare a colloidal solution, which in turn forms the contrast agent containing the colloidal solution. The inventive contrast agent does not have toxicity and is easily taken up to the lymph node to exhibit excellent contrast imaging effects. The contrast agent of the present invention is useful for diagnosis of metastatic cancers.
