IVISense Bombesin Receptor 680 Fluorescent Probe (BombesinRSense)

IVISense Bombesin Receptor 680 fluorescent probe is specific for bombesin receptors (BBRs) expressed in many types of cancer. Bombesin-like peptides and their G-protein coupled receptors have been shown to play a role in cancer and are overexpressed in a variety of tumors, including prostate, breast, lung, CNS, gastric, colon, and renal cell carcinomas.

IVISense Bombesin Receptor 680 imaging agent comprises a 7-amino acid bombesin peptide analog, an NIR fluorophore (ex/em 665/691 nm) and a pharmacokinetic modifier to improve its plasma availability (plasma t1/2 = 30-45 min). This agent can be used to target and quantify upregulation of bombesin receptors (BBR) in vivo associated with tumor proliferation.
