Scientific Abstract
Molecular ultrasound of inflammatory bowel disease has not yet been established. We want to exploit the essential role of endothelial cell adhesion molecules in the development of colitis and establish CAM (cell adhesion molecule)-specific ultrasound contrast agents in DSS-induced murine colitis for the analysis of colonic inflammation. This will facilitate both, assessment of disease progression and treatment response monitoring.
