Schematic representation of thrombin-triggered activation of perfluorobutane-filled (PFB-filled) ACPP-labeled microbubbles (ACPP-MBs). After ACPP cleavage, the ACPP-MB surface becomes positively charged and adheres to the negatively charged surfaces, such as those of red blood cells, fibrin, and platelets.
