Vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFRs) are well recognized as significant biomarkers of tumor angiogenesis. Herein, we have developed a first-of-its-kind peptide-based VEGFR positron emission tomography (PET) tracer. The novel [<sup>64</sup>Cu]VEGF<sub>125-136</sub> peptide possessed satisfactory radio-characteristics and showed good specificity for the visualization of VEGFR in various mouse models, in which the tumor-specific radioactivity uptake was highly correlated to the VEG ...[more]
