  1. a Various linkers have been used for the radiolabelling of annexin V [26]. HYNIC is the most used bifunctional chelating agent in preclinical and clinical research. b β2 glycoprotein I domain of phosphatidylserine. c 74As, β + emitter (T 1/2 = 17.8 days). d 77As, β- emitter (T 1/2 = 1.6 days). e Bis-DOTA has been used as a bifunctional chelating agent for radiolabelling of hypericin. f HYNIC has been used as a bifunctional chelating agent for radiolabelling of lactadherin. g SAAC has been used as a single amino acid chelator for radiolabelling of PSBP-6. AA, amino acids; MW, molecular weight; PET(CT), positron emission tomography (computed tomography); PS, phosphatidylserine; PSBP-6, PS-binding peptide-6; SPECT(CT), single-photon emission computed tomography (computed tomography).
