Description

The paper describes an annexin V fragment modified with HYNIC (HYNICAnx13) and radiolabelled with 99mTc using tricine, EDDA or EDDA/tricine as coligands. The effects of various factors on 99mTc labelling were investigated. Chromatographic analysis, stability and biodistribution studies in mice and rats, and imaging of apoptosis in rats induced by cyclophosphamide, were performed. The labelled conjugates were stable in aqueous solution and in serum solution in vitro, but they were not stable in cysteine solution and in vivo. The imaging results were not satisfactory, indicating that HYNIC-Anx13 might not be a promising agent for apoptotic imaging. (author)
