- Abstract
The expression of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) is present in most malignant cells (>85%) but is undetectable in most normal somatic cells. Visualization of hTERT expression using radionuclide targeting can provide important diagnostic information in malignant tumors. The overall aim of this study was to evaluate whether (99m)Tc-radiolabeled antisense oligonucleotide (ASON) targeting hTERT messenger RNA (mRNA) can be used for imaging of hTERT expression in vivo.
