摘要:
Methods for determining lymphocyte distribution and trafficking in a mammal are described. Either a labeled ligand capable of interacting specifically with the lymphocytes of the mammal is administered to the mammal so that the labeled ligand interacts in vivo with the lymphocytes, resulting in labeled lymphocytes, or, the labeled ligand is contacted with the lymphocytes in vitro so that the labeled ligand interacts with the lymphocytes resulting in labeled lymphocytes, and these labeled lymphocytes are administered to the mammal. The distribution or trafficking of the labeled lymphocytes in the mammal is determined by imaging. Methods for diagnosing the degree of progression of a disease in a mammal by determining the mammal's lymphocyte distribution or trafficking pattern, for monitoring the response to a therapy in mammal having a disease, for evaluating the ability of an agent to alter the distribution or trafficking of lymphocytes, and for identifying an agent useful for treating a mammal having a disease, are also described.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method of detecting a site of infection or inflammation, and a method for treating such infection or inflammation, in an individual by administering to the individual a diagnostically or therapeutically effective amount of detectably labeled, therapeutic, or therapeutically-conjugated, chemotactic peptide that accumulates substantially at the infected or inflamed site, said chemotactic peptide having the general structure X--Y--Leu--Phe--�Z!.sub.n --W wherein: X is an amino protecting group, Y is an amino acid residue, Z is a spacer sequence, n is 0 or 1, and W is a labeling or attachment substituent.

摘要:
The present invention relates to novel modified fatty acid analogs, where a positron or gamma-emitting label is placed at a position on a fatty acid backbone and an organic substituent is substituted at the 2,3; 3,4; 4,5; 5,6 and other sequence positions of a fatty acid backbone. These novel fatty acid analogs are designed to enter the tissues of interest by the same long chain fatty acid carrier mechanism as natural fatty acids, however, functional substituents in the 2,3; 3,4; 4,5; 5,6 and other sequence positions, block the catabolic pathway, thus trapping these analogs in a virtually unmodified form in the tissues of interest.
摘要:
A method of diagnosing attention deficient-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in a human patient by assessing the level of dopamine transporter in at least one region of the patient's central nervous system, where an elevated level of dopamine transporter in the patient is indicative of ADHD. In embodiments of the invention, assessment of dopamine transporter levels includes assessing binding of a dopamine transporter ligand to the dopamine transporters using PET or SPECT.
