In vivo Optical Imaging of Matrix Metalloproteinase Activity Detects Acute and Chronic Contact Hypersensitivity Reactions and Enables Monitoring of the Antiinflammatory Effects of -Acetylcysteine

The aim of this study was to determine whether the severity of contact hypersensitivity reactions (CHSRs) can be observed by noninvasive in vivo optical imaging of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity and whether this is an appropriate tool for monitoring an antiinflammatory effect. Acute and chr...
