Truncated forms of peptide p5 do not effectively bind or image murine AA amyloid in vivo. Dual energy biodistribution of 125I-p5(1-24) (A, grey) and 99mTc-p5(A, black), or 125I-p5(1-17) (B, grey) and 99mTc-p5(B, black) demonstrated that truncation of p5 peptide decreased the reactivity with AA amyloid in vivo. This was confirmed in SPECT and CT contrast-enhanced SPECT/CT imaging. SPECT images of (C) 99mTc-p5, (D) 125I-p5(1-24), and the fused image (E) as well as (F) 99mTc-p5, (G) 125I-p5(1-17), and the fused image (H). L, liver; Sp, spleen; I, intestine, and; S, stomach.
