Neutrophil Specific, NIR Fluorescent Imaging Agent
This reagent is a Cyanine7-conjugated, PEG-modified hexapeptide that specifically binds the formylpeptide receptor (FPR) of neutrophils. After tailvein injection of the agent, sites of inflammation, where neutrophils have been recruited and activated, can be imaged in vivo by near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence.

Comments
Suggested Use:
Dissolve Neutrophil-Specific, NIR Fluorescent Imaging Agent in water (sterile water see catalog# CP0691) or neutral buffer (PBS see catalog# CG1240) for a working solution concentration of 20uM. Inject mice with 50uL Working Solution per 10g body weight via intravenous injection.
- Inject mice at 2nmol per 20g of body weight.
- The half life of this compound is between 1.5 - 2hrs
Customer Provided Data:
SKH mice from CRL (6 mice per group) were treated with a strong neutrophil-inducing agent. Neutrophil-Specific, NIR Fluorescent Imaging Agent was then dosed at 0.5 nmol per 20g of body weight. Mice were imaged with an IVIS lumina XR imaging system using the auto settings with medium binning and an F stop of 2. Adaptive FL Background subtraction was performed. (Unpublished data from customer at NIH).
