Abstract: The non‑natural amino acid positron emission tomography tracers, 2‑amino[3‑11C]isobutyric acid ([3‑11C]AIB) and 2‑amino[11C]methyl‑isobutyric acid ([11C]MeAIB), are metabolically stable in vivo and accumulate in tumors. [3‑11C]AIB is transported into cells mainly via the amino acid transport system A… read more here.
