Detection of Leukotriene Receptor CysLTR in Inflammatory Diseases by Molecular Imaging with Near-Infrared Fluorescence-Based Contrast Agents

As leukotriene D 4 receptor CysLT 1 R upregulation is an early event in inflammatory processes, specific detection of CysLT 1 R via molecular imaging might be a promising diagnostic tool for inflammatory diseases. We coupled a specific anti-CysLT 1 R IgG antibody to near-infrared (NIR) hemicyanine f...
