Abstract

Current diagnostic tests for myocarditis are invasive and have low diagnostic value. Our aim was to identify potential targeting peptides to detect early myocarditis following intravenous delivery. We used an animal model of experimental autoimmune myocarditis and a phage display library to identify potential targeting peptides. After several steps, we selected two peptides, MyH-PhD-05 and MyH-PhD-120, for in vivo screening using fluorescent imaging. Immunofluorescence and proteonomic analysis was used to identify potential cellular and molecular targets of MyH-PhD-05. Echocardiography was used to assess functional changes. Peptide MyH-PhD-05 was able to detect animals with severe myocarditis even in the absence of functional changes. Immunofluorescence demonstrated that MyH-PhD-05 colocalizes with CD4+ T cells and monocytes (CD11b+) in cardiac infiltrates. We identified potential targeting peptides for the diagnosis of myocarditis. Future studies will focus on better identification of potential targets and translating this technology to clinically relevant imaging modalities.

Bacteriophage: Phage Therapy

Phage therapy uses bacterial viruses (bacteriophages) to treat bacterial infections and is widely being recognized as an alternative to antibiotics. Here is the latest research.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
