  • Data are expressed as percentage administered activity (injected dose) per gram of tissue (%ID/g) after intravenous injection of 740 kBq (20 μCi) 18F-FB-NAPamide at 1, 4, and 1-h block (with coinjection of 200 μg NDP) (n = 3). Significant inhibition of uptake was observed in B16/F10 melanoma (P < 0.05) but was not observed in A375M melanoma (P > 0.05).
