Methotrexate-Induced Accumulation of Fluorescent Annexin V in Collagen-Induced Arthritis
We examined the accumulation of Cy5.5-labeled annexin V in the paws of mice with and without collagen-induced arthritis, with and without methotrexate (MTX) treatment, by near-infrared fluorescence imaging. Fluorescence reflectance imaging (FRI) of paws was performed 48 hr after MTX injection and at...
