It has been shown that more than 75% of ductal pancreatic adenocarcinomas overexpressed neurotensin (NT) receptors. Overexpression of NT receptors has been reported in various human tumor types. Hence, a non-invasive diagnosis and staging method could be very beneficial. In this work, we describe radiolabeling and evalu-
Aptides are considered to be a potent candidate for biopharmaceutical applications. They can be modified with imaging or therapeutic agents. This report shows the capability of 99mTc-HYNIC-APTEDB for human EDB-expressing tumours detection.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
