The receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) is implicated in the development and progression of atherosclerosis. We tested the hypothesis that (99m)Tc-labeled anti-RAGE F(ab')(2) can be used as a noninvasive tool to image atherosclerotic lesions in apolipoprotein E-deficient (apoE(-/-)) mice.
