<p>A method of identifying and/or treating tissue having leukocytes adhered thereto which utilizes a material that selectively attaches to leukocytes adhered to a patient's tissue. The material may be a gas-filled microbubble contrast agent which selectively attaches to activated leukocytes present in inflamed tissue. The microbubbles attached to activated leukocytes may be located by ultrasound echography, and inflamed tissue may be treated by a drug or gene sequence carried by the microbubble contrast agent.</p> |
