Synthesis and evaluation of a 99mTc-labeled chemokine receptor antagonist peptide for imaging of chemokine receptor expressing tumors

The chemokine receptor CXCR4 is highly expressed in tumor cells and plays an important role in tumor metastasis. In the present study, we report on the evaluation of a new radiopharmaceutical peptide for its potential to visualization for CXCR4-expressing tumors in vivo.
