The invention relates to radiolabeled imaging of a mammalian body. The invention in particular provides for reagents labeled with technetium-99m for such imaging. The invention specifically provides somatostatin, somatostatin derivatives, somatostatin analogues or peptides that bind to the somatostatin receptor and contain at least 2 cysteine residues that form a disulfide or wherein the disulfide is reduced to the sulfhydryl form that are directly labeled with technetium-99m and that can be targeted to specific sites within a mammalian body for imaging.
摘要:
Protein conjugates comprising a protein covalently linked to at least one positively charged agent, so that the protein conjugate has an overall net positive charge in aqueous conditions at physiological pH are disclosed. The positively charged agents comprise polymers of three or more subunits selected from the group consisting of amino acids containing positively charged side chains and alkylamines. These protein conjugates have decreased blood clearance rates compared to conjugates which do not have the positively charged agents. The protein conjugates may further comprise diagnostic or therapeutic radionuclides bound to the protein or the positively charged agent through bifunctional coupling agents.
