Ultrasonic Analysis of Peptide- and Antibody-Targeted Microbubble Contrast Agents for Molecular Imaging of αβ-Expressing Cells

The goal of targeted ultrasound contrast agents is to significantly and selectively enhance the detection of a targeted vascular site. In this manuscript, three distinct contrast agents targeted to the α v β 3 integrin are examined. The α v β 3 integrin has been shown to be highly expressed on metas...
