Labeled chemotactic peptides to image focal sites of infection or inflammation

摘要: This invention relates to a method of detecting site infection or inflammation, and for treating such in an individual by administering the diagnostically therapeutically effective amount detectably labeled, therapeutic, therapeutically-conjugated, chemotactic peptide that accumulates substantially at infected inflamed site, said having general structure X—Y—Leu—Phe—[Z]n—W wherein X is amino protecting group, Y acid residue, Z spacer sequence, n 0 1, W labeling attachment substituent.
