Detecting and assessing macrophages in vivo to evaluate atherosclerosis noninvasively using molecular MRI.

abstract：:Highly multiplexed assays using antibody coated, fluorescent (xMap) beads are widely used to measure quantities of soluble analytes, such as cytokines and antibodies in clinical and other studies. Current analyses of these assays use methods based on standard curves that have limitations in detecting low or high abund...
