| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
There is no established method to see the activated platelet on MRI scanner. In this decade, several researcher works on this issue, and developed several contrast agents. However, its safety and feasibility is still questionable. We developed a novel contrast material using USPIO conjugated with fucoidan, that is mucopolysacchrides extracted from sea weeds. In a present study, we made a activated thrombus model with rats. In a acute cerebral infarction model, we could see the enhancement of the region on MRI. Consequently, affinity of fucoidan and P-selectin was examined gently on aortic abdominal aneurysm model. Using an immunohistochemical stain toward P-selectin and an electron microscopy, distribution of USPIO and activated platelets were confirmed.
