Fig. 5. Effects of apoptosis on 18F-TPP uptake in spleen and 18F-TPP biodistribution.

Fig. 5

Time course study on the uptake of 18F-TPP by spleen in mice showed the maximum accumulation in 20 minutes after the injection of 18F-TPP via tail vein. This time point was chosen for biodistribution studies (Fig. 5 A: ANOVA, * vs. the rest, ** vs. #: P<0.05; ¤, ** vs. ¤, and ¤ vs. #: P>0.05). Tracer uptake in burned mouse spleens was reduces to 1.13±0.24% compared with 3.28 ±0.67% (t test: p<0.005) in spleens of sham treated mice (Fig. 5 B).
