Characterization of Partial Ligation-Induced Carotid Atherosclerosis Model Using Dual-Modality Molecular Imaging in ApoE Knock-out Mice

BACKGROUND: Recently, partial ligation of the common carotid artery (CCA) was reported to induce carotid atheromata rapidly in apolipoprotein-E knockout (ApoE(-/-)) mice. We investigated this new atherosclerosis model by using combined matrix-metalloproteinase (MMP) near-infrared fluorescent (NIRF)...
