Extra Domain B Fibronectin as a Target for Near-Infrared Fluorescence Imaging of Rheumatoid Arthritis Affected Joints In Vivo

We investigated a molecular imaging approach for the detection of collagen-induced arthritis in rats by targeting the extra domain B (ED-B) of the extracellular matrix protein fibronectin. ED-B is a highly conserved domain (identical in human and rats) that is produced by alternative splicing during...
