Preferred Label : Copper 64 Cu-labeled Macrophage-targeted Nanoparticle;
NCIt synonyms : 64Cu-labeled Macrin; Copper 64 Cu-labeled Macrin; [64]Cu-Macrin; 64Cu-Macrin;
NCIt definition : A radioconjugate composed of macrophage-targeted polyglucose nanoparticle, labeled
with the radioisotope copper Cu 64, with potential use as a tracer for macrophages
including tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) during positron emission tomography
(PET). Upon administration of copper Cu 64-labeled macrophage-targeted nanoparticle,
the macrophage-targeted nanoparticle is taken up by macrophages, including TAMs in
the tumor microenvironment (TME). Upon PET imaging, the macrophages can be detected.
The accumulation of macrophages is present in various inflammatory diseases and tumors.;
