title: Detection of tumour hypoxia: comparison between EF5 adducts and [18F]EF3 uptake on an individual mouse tumour basis.
abstract: In the framework of the preclinical validation of the hypoxic tracer [(18)F]EF3, a comparison was performed between uptake of [(18)F]EF3 and EF5 adducts detected by immunofluorescence in MCa-4, FSA, FSAII, Sa-NH and NFSA tumour-bearing mice. Mice were allowed to breath carbogen (5% CO(2), 95% O(2)), 21% oxygen or 10% oxygen. A significant correlation (r (2)=0.57; p<0.01) was found between the [(18)F]EF3 tumour-to-muscle ratio and the fluorescence intensity of EF5.
