Micro-PET Imaging of αβ-Integrin Expression with F-Labeled Dimeric RGD Peptide

The α v integrins, which act as cell adhesion molecules, are closely involved with tumor invasion and angiogenesis. In particular, α v β 3 integrin, which is specifically expressed on proliferating endothelial cells and tumor cells, is a logical target for development of a radiotracer method to asse...
