In Vitro and In Vivo Evaluation of Alexa Fluor 680-Bombesin[7–14]NH Peptide Conjugate, a High-Affinity Fluorescent Probe with High Selectivity for the Gastrin-Releasing Peptide Receptor

In Vitro and In Vivo Evaluation of Alexa Fluor 680-Bombesin[7–14]NH Peptide Conjugate, a High-Affinity Fluorescent Probe with High Selectivity for the Gastrin-Releasing Peptide Receptor

Gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) receptors are overexpressed on several types of human cancer cells, including breast, prostate, small cell lung, and pancreatic cancers. Bombesin (BBN), a 14–amino acid peptide that is an analogue of human GRP, binds to GRP receptors with very high affinity and specif...
