1 By conjugating the ligand folate with a fluorescent contrast agent, fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), we aimed to explore the potential role of FR-beta fluorescence imaging in the distinction of vulnerable sites from more stable regions. Folic Acid folate receptor beta Homo sapiens
2 These characteristics of vulnerability imply that molecular imaging of FR-beta through folate conjugates might be a good indicator for plaque vulnerability in future noninvasive imaging studies. Folic Acid folate receptor beta Homo sapiens
