A Novel iRFP-Incorporated in vivo Murine Atherosclerosis Imaging System

A Novel iRFP-Incorporated in vivo Murine Atherosclerosis Imaging System

Abstract By using near-infrared fluorescent protein (iRFP)-expressing hematopoietic cells, we established a novel, quantitative, in vivo, noninvasive atherosclerosis imaging system. This murine atherosclerosis imaging approach targets macrophages expressing iRFP in plaques. Low-density lipoprotein r...
