123/125I-labelled 2-iodo-L: -phenylalanine and 2-iodo-D: -phenylalanine: comparative uptake in various tumour types and biodistribution in mice.

PURPOSE: In vitro in the R1M cell model and in vivo in the R1M tumour-bearing athymic model, both [(123)I]-2-iodo-L: -phenylalanine and [(123)I]-2-iodo-D: -phenylalanine have shown promising results as tumour diagnostic agents for SPECT. In order to compare these two amino acid analogues and to exa...
