(a) Allysine-reactive probe Ga-NODAGA-indole and (b) non-reactive analog Ga-NODAGA-carboline. (c) natGa-NODAGA-indole and natGa-NODAGA-carboline binding to porcine aorta or aorta pretreated with an excess of aldehyde reactive compound showing that natGa-NODAGA-indole binds specifically to allysine-rich tissue. n = 3 per experiment using different segments of porcine aorta from the same animal. Data were analyzed with one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by post-hoc Tukey tests.
