Integrin αvβ3 is an effective marker of angiogenesis in cancer, and αvβ3-specific imaging can yield important details about this complex physiological process. We utilized the recently reported and highly αvβ3-specific peptide, bicyclic RGD (bcRGD), as the basic structure of an in vivo αvβ3 imaging probe, and synthesized a radioiodinated form of…[Read more]
