Key result
Peptide MyH-PhD-05 successfully detected animals with severe myocarditis even in the absence of functional changes by colocalizing with CD4+ T cells and monocytes.
Why the study?
Can targeting peptides (MyH-PhD-05 and MyH-PhD-120) detect early myocarditis in an animal model?
Can targeting peptides (MyH-PhD-05 and MyH-PhD-120) detect early myocarditis in an animal model?
The targeting peptide MyH-PhD-05 successfully detected severe experimental autoimmune myocarditis in an animal model prior to functional echocardiographic changes, highlighting its potential as a novel non-invasive diagnostic imaging tool.

Martinez et al. (2018) studied Myocarditis. Targeting peptides (MyH-PhD-05 and MyH-PhD-120) was evaluated on Detection of severe myocarditis. Peptide MyH-PhD-05 successfully detected animals with severe myocarditis even in the absence of functional changes by colocalizing with CD4+ T cells and monocytes.
