<p>(Radio)labelled ligands which bind to the ELAM-1 receptor expressed on activated endothelium are used to aid the diagnosis or imaging of inflammation and neoplastic lesions. Such ligands include compounds of formula (I): R1-Gal(1←4)X1(R2) wherein X1 is GlcNac or Glc, R1 is a hydrogen atom forming an OH group at the 3 position on the galactose group or is a NeuAc(2←3) group and R2 is hydrogen forming an OH group at the 3 position on the X1 group or is a Fuc(1←3) group thereon.</p> |
