Phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure on the cell surface is an early marker of apoptosis. To select PS binding peptides as vectors of contrast agents to image apoptosis, a phage library has been exposed to perfused mouse livers. Phages not retained on control livers during the first perfusions were used for selections on apoptotic livers in a second series of perfusions. Four selected phages were further evaluated for binding to PS-coated enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) plates. They presented an apparent affinity constant (Ka app) for PS ranging from 6.08x10(10) M to 1.62x10(11)M. These phages did not bind to phosphatidylcholine, and competition with annexin V confirmed their specific interaction with PS. The phage with the highest affinity-bound PS in ELISA with a Ka app=(1.6+/-0.2)x10(11)M. It carried the TLVSSL peptide that was synthesized. Specific competition with annexin V and with the synthetic peptide was performed and confirms the specificity of the interaction.
