Figure 3. Monocytes are not a major source of FXIII in MI.
A, Scintillation counting of infarcted hearts from mice with or without clodronate liposome (Clo-Lip) depletion of monocytes and macrophages after injection of 18F-FXIII (n=4-5 per group). B, Comparison of 18F-FXIII signal on autoradiography between control mouse (MI) and mouse treated with Clo-Lip (MI + Clo-Lip). Data are mean±SEM, *p<0.05. %ID/g: percent injected dose per gram tissue.
