In vivo optical imaging of integrin αV-β3 in mice using multivalent or monovalent cRGD targeting vectors
12 Jun 2007
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The cRGD peptide is a promising probe for early non-invasive detection of tumors. This study aimed to demonstrate how RAFT-c(-RGDfK-)4, a molecule allowing a tetrameric presentation of cRGD, improved cRGD-targeting potential using in vivo models of alphaVbeta3-positive or negative tumors. RESULTS: We chose the human embryonic kidney cells HEK293(beta3) (high levels of alphaVbeta3) or HEK293(beta1)...
