Very Late Antigen-4 (α4β1 Integrin) Targeted PET Imaging of Multiple Myeloma
Biomedical imaging techniques such as skeletal survey and (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)/Positron Emission Tomography (PET) are frequently used to diagnose and stage multiple myeloma (MM) patients. However, skeletal survey has limited sensitivity as it can detect osteolytic lesions only after 30-50% cortical bone destruction, and FDG is a marker of cell metabolism that has limited sensitivity f...
متن کاملRoles for integrin very late activation antigen-4 in stroma-dependent erythropoiesis.
Adhesion molecules are required for development of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells in the respective hematopoietic microenvironments. We previously showed that development of the erythroid progenitor cells is dependent on their direct adhesion to the stroma cells established from the erythropoietic organs. In this stroma-dependent erythropoiesis, we examined the role of adhesion molecul...

متن کاملIntegrin Targeted MR Imaging
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a powerful medical diagnostic imaging modality for integrin targeted imaging, which uses the magnetic resonance of tissue water protons to display tissue anatomic structures with high spatial resolution. Contrast agents are often used in MRI to highlight specific regions of the body and make them easier to visualize. There are four main classes of MRI contras...
متن کاملVery Late Antigen 4 - dependent Adhesion and Costimulation of Resting Human T Cells by the Bacterial / 31 Integrin Ligand Invasin
Bacteria and viruses often use the normal biological properties of host adhesion molecules to infect relevant host cells. The outer membrane bacterial protein invasin mediates the attachment of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis to human cells. In vitro studies have shown that four members of the very late antigen (VLA) integrin family of adhesion molecules, VLA-3, VLA-4, VLA-5, and VLA-6, can bind to...
