Optical Imaging of Integrin αβ Expression with Near-Infrared Fluorescent RGD Dimer with Tetra(ethylene glycol) Linkers
Integrin α v β 3 plays great roles in tumor angiogenesis, invasion, and metastasis. We report here the noninvasive visualization of tumor integrin α v β 3 expression by using near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging of an IRDye800-labeled new cyclic RGD (arginine-glycine-aspartic acid) dimer with t...
