| Research Abstract |
In the experiment using a cultured cell, it was proved that the ^<99m>Tc-labelled siRNA has combined with the specific mRNA about the gene target. Moreover, when improvement of new probe for a PET was tried, we succeeded in optimization of the ^<68>Ga -labelled conditions of siRNA. Furthermore, we succeeded also in labelling siRNA by ^<62>Cu. Interestingly, This radiolabelled siRNA was also able to acquire stability in vivo. However, in the animal experiment, the accumulation to the tumor of the radiolabelled siRNA was low.
