Cellular accumulation of 18F-labelled boronophenylalanine depending on DNA synthesis and melanin incorporation: a double-tracer microautoradiographic study of B16 melanomas in vivo.

The cellular distribution of 4-borono-2-[18F]fluoro-L-phenylalanine ([18F]FBPA, an analog of p-boronophenylaline), a potential agent for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT), and [6-3H]thymidine ([3H]Thd, a DNA precursor) in murine two B16 melanoma sublines and FM3A mammary carcinoma was studied in...
