Localization of targeted nanobubbles on endothelium and vascular thrombi during thrombolytic treatment in a rat model of antiphospolipid syndrome. Thrombus formation and nanobubble (NB) deposits were followed by intravital microscopy and the images were collected 90 minutes after injection of NB. Residual intravascular thrombi are visualized in red by in vivo staining with rhodamine 6G and NB loaded with coumarin 6 in green. Arrows show the co-localization of rtPA-tNB and residual vascular thrombi and arrowheads highlight the localization of rtPA-tNB on activated endothelium. Note the absence of untargeted NB and the presence of occluded vessels in rtPA-NB-treated animal. TNB: targeted NB; rtPA: recombinant tissue plasminogen activator.
