NIR imaging of vascular endothelial cells using Cy5.5-lectin conjugates

The objective of this study was to develop a fluorescent near-infrared endothelial cell binding conjugate using Lycopersicon esculentum lectin and Cy5.5 N-hydroxysuccinimide ester for the purpose of imaging the microvascular network in mouse hearts under in vivo and ex vivo conditions. Cy5.5-lectin...
