FIGURE 7. (Top) MicroSPECT/CT images of 111In-DOTA–PNA–peptide conjugates in Mec-1–bearing SCID mice (n = 3). (A) 111In-DOTA-Tyr3-octreotate (1 h). (B) 111In-DOTA-anti-bcl-2-PNA-Tyr3-octreotate (48 h). (C) 111In-DOTA-nonsense-PNA-Tyr3-octreotate (48 h). (D) 111In-DOTA-anti-bcl-2-PNA-Ala[3,4,5,6] (48 h). (Bottom) Corresponding transaxial slices through the centers of the tumors.
