Introduction: Amyloid deposits are associated with a broad spectrum of disorders including monoclonal gammopathies, chronic inflammation, and Alzheimer's disease. In all cases, the amyloid pathology contains, in addition to protein fibrils, a plethora of associated molecules, including high concentrations of heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs). Methods: We have evaluated radioiodinated scFvs that bind HS for their ability to image amyloid deposits in vivo. sav's with different binding characteristics were isolated by phage display using HS extracted from bovine kidney or mouse and human skeletal muscle glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). Following purification and radioiodination, the biodistribution of I-125-scFv's was assessed in mice with inflammation-associated AA amyloidosis or in amyloid-free mice by using SPECT imaging, biodistribution measurements and tissue autoradiography. Results: Four different sav's all showed binding in vivo to amyloid in the spleen, liver and kidney of diseased mice; however, three of the scFv's also bound to sites within these organs in disease free mice. One say specific for hypersulfated HSPGs preferentially bound amyloid and did not accumulate in healthy tissues. Conclusions: These data indicate that HS expressed in amyloid deposits has unique qualities that can be distinguished from HS in normal tissues. A say specific for rare hypersulfated HS was used to selectively image AA amyloid in mice with minimal retention in normal tissue. (C) 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
