Biodistribution of^99mTc-HYNIC-lactadherin in mice – a potential tracer for visualizing apoptosis<i>in vivo</i>

Abstract

In conclusion, the biodistribution of (99m)Tc-HYNIC-lactadherin, a potential new tracer for in vivo quantification of apoptosis, was evaluated. The small renal uptake of (99m)Tc-HYNIC-lactadherin makes it possible to image apoptosis in the kidneys, but the high liver clearance may be a disadvantage during myocardial perfusion.
