Inflammatory diseases are associated with the accumulation of activated inflammatory cells, particularly polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs), which release reactive oxygen species (ROS) to eradicate foreign bodies and microorganisms. To assess the location and extent of localized inflammatory responses, L-012, a highly sensitive chemiluminescent probe, was employed to noninvasively monitor the production of ROS. We found that L-012-associated chemiluminescence imaging can be used to identify an ...[more]
