Investigating CXCR4 expression of tumor cells and the vascular compartment: A multimodal approach. by Marta Braga, Chee Hau Leow, Javier Hernandez Gil, Jin H Teh, Laurence Carroll, Nicholas J Long, Meng-Xing Tang, Eric O Aboagye

“…A CXCR4-targeted MB was developed through incorporation of the T140 peptide into the MB shell. Binding properties of the T140-MB and control, non-targeted MB (NT-MB) were evaluated in MDA-MB-231 cells where CXCR4 expression was knocked-down (via shRNA) through optical imaging, and in the lymphoma tumor models U2932 and SuDHL8 (high and low CXCR4 expression, respectively) by US imaging. …”
