Abstract

Purpose: The aims of the study were to develop and evaluate a novel residualizing peptide for labeling internalizing antibodies with 124I to support clinical development using immuno-positron emission tomography (PET). Methods: The anti-epidermal growth factor receptor antibody ch806 was radiolabeled directly or indirectly with isotopes and various residualizing peptides. Azido-derivatized radiolabeled peptides were conjugated to dibenzylcyclooctyne-derivatized ch806 antibody via click chemistry. The radiochemical purities, antigen-expressing U87MG.de2-7 human glioblastoma cell-binding properties, and targeting of xenografts at 72 hours post injection of all radioconjugates were compared.
