titleOfInvention | Method of detecting amyloid-containing lesions by autofluorescence |
abstract | Disclosed is a method of detecting amyloid-containing deposits in a mammal without administering exogenous chemicals such as fluorophores or chromophores. The method includes subjecting tissue of a mammal, preferably tissue of a mammal suspected of having at least one form of amyloidosis to autofluorescence-initiation, preferably by subjecting the tissue to at least excitation incident radiation from a light source having a wavelength of light within the range of from about 360 to about 370 nm, and more preferably to illumination incident radiation from a light source having wavelengths in the visible spectrum, to produce an emitted light signal beam and a reflected light signal beam. The method also preferably includes detecting the presence of emitted light having a wavelength of from about 400 nm to about 460 nm. The method can be used to diagnose amyloidosis in living mammals using relatively non-invasive imaging apparatus, and it can be used to monitor the efficacy of treatment, or screen effective treatments for amyloidosis. |
