Increased permeability in the blood nerve barrier is found after peripheral nerve injury(1) and annexin A-2 has been shown to translocate to Schwann cell surface after injury(2). We hypothesize that this change in permeability can facilitate intraneaural transit of LS-301 to identify nerve injury. We subjected Lewis rats to a mild or severe unilateral sciatic nerve crush injury and performed NIR imaging after administration of Cypate-3 dye and LS-301. Fluorescence within the ROI of the mildly injured nerve and severely injured nerve was significantly increased compared to their contralateral control at 5 hrs after injury. It appears that intravenous administration of near-infrared fluorophores results in detectable changes in nerve fluorescence compared to baseline.
