Molecules associated with the transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) superfamily, such as
bone morphogenic proteins (BMPs) and TGF-β, are key regulators of inflammation, apoptosis …

Over the past several years, investigators in this laboratory and elsewhere have been studying
tumor localization by pretargeting with streptavidin and biotin or with avidin and biotin. …

Technetium-99m labeled ubiquicidin peptide 29-41 ( 99m Tc-UBI) is a cationic human
antimicrobial peptide fragment that has been shown to bind bacteria in vitro and accumulates at …

Three amino acids residues, Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD), in vitronectin and fibronectin show affinity
for α V β 3 integrins expressed in vascular endothelial cells. That tumor growth can …

Because bacteriophages (phages) have a natural specificity for bacteria, it may be possible
to develop radiolabeled phages as infection-specific agents. Methods: The M13 phage was …

After labeling, the ability of the DNAs to bind to streptavidin through the biotinmoieties and
to hybridIzewiththeir compie mentary DNAin saline was retained for both radiolabels as …

We have shown recently that cell accumulation in culture of antisense DNA is strongly
influenced by the presence of a 99m Tc-MAG 3 group for radiolabeling. We have now compared …

PURPOSE: Invasive aspergillosis is a major cause of infectious morbidity and mortality in
immunocompromised patients. The fungus Aspergillus fumigatus (A. fumigatus) is the primary …

INTRODUCTION: This study investigates radiolabeled bacteriophages for specific detection
of infection through gamma imaging. Previously, a 99m Tc-labeled M13 phage …

MATERIALSAND METHODS This investigation was performed with B72. 3 and Cl 10in their
intact IgG form. The B72. 3 antibody, an IgGl, is directed against the antigen tag-72 which is …
