A bradykinin derivative differentiates vulnerable and stable plaques in rhesus monkeys with positron emission tomography
Conclusion: P05022 selectively binds to B1R in vivo and generates high contrast images of vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque in monkey model. Our results suggest that P05022 is a promising PET tracer that can differentiate vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques from stable ones with significant specificity.
