Detection of DNA Synthesis in Intact Organisms with Positron-Emitting [Methyl-11C]Thymidine

RESUMO

11CO2 produced in the Brookhaven 152-cm cyclotron was converted to formaldehyde, which in turn was used for the enzymatic conversion of deoxyuridine-5′-phosphate to [11C]thymidylate. Enzymatic treatment of the nucleotide with alkaline phosphatase gave [11C]thymidine.
