Multimodality Tumor Imaging Targeting Integrin α v β 3

Abstract excerpt

The cell adhesion molecule integrin alphavbeta3 is an important player in the process of tumor angiogenesis and metastasis. Antibodies, peptides, peptidomimetics, and small molecule antagonists against integrin alphavbeta3 have been shown to induce endothelial apoptosis, to inhibit tumor angiogenesis, and to increase endothelial permeability. The ability to quantitatively image integrin alphavbeta3 expression in...
