Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Gas-filled microvesicles associated with a polypeptide comprising a sequence of amino acids, said sequence exhibiting binding affinity for selectins, particularly p-selectin. The gas-filled microvesicles can be used in ultrasound imaging.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An aqueous suspension comprising a gas-filled microvesicle, said microvesicle comprising a targeting construct comprising: a) an amphiphilic compound; and b) a homodimeric polypeptide consisting of two polypeptide monomers, wherein each polypeptide monomer consists of at most 200 amino acid residues, comprises a single lysine amino acid residue, at least amino acids 5-16 as set forth in SEQ ID NO:1 and at least one cysteine residue; wherein the pep…
