N2 - It has been shown that ED-B fibronectin (ED-B) is a potential target for plaque imaging. The aim of this study was to test a novel modified single chain anti-ED-B antibody (scFv) conjugated for near infrared fluorescence imaging (NIRF) with tetrasulfonated carbocyanine-maleimide (TSC-scFv) and to examine the association of ED-B with the presence of macrophages in a murine model of atherosclerosis. Expression of ED-B was observed in plaque areas in apolipoprotein E-deficient (apoE(-/-)) mice which increased with age and plaque load. Robust imaging was possible after explantation of the aorta and demonstrated a strong NIRF signal intensity in focal aortic and brachiocephalic plaque lesions, whereas no signals were found in undiseased areas. Plaque lesion ED-B was expressed by smooth muscle cell and was closely associated to macrophage infiltrates. Although not expressed by the same cell type, there was a significant correlation (p
