IG3 ex vivo heart imaging and uptake. (a) Upper panel: Ex vivo heart imaging 4 h after IG3 administration; Lower panel: In vivo CMR: four chamber view after Gd-DTPA administration. Scar extension by LGE correlates with IG3 uptake (rs = 1, p = 0.017). CMR, cardiac magnetic resonance; LA, left atrium; LGE, late gadolinium enhancement; LV, left ventricle; MI, myocardial infarction; μSPECT, micro-single-photon emission computed tomography; RA, right atrium; RV, right ventricle. (b) Explanted hearts were divided into three parts (apex/infarct, MI border, and MI remote) for gamma scintillation counting. Values are given as %ID/g (mean ± SD). *p < 0.05 2 W-MI vs. control. p < 0.01 2 W-MI vs. control. %ID/g,% injected dose per gram; 2 W-MI, myocardial infarction 2 weeks old; 4 W-MI, myocardial infarction 4 weeks old.
