Abstract

A target-specific mAb for the HER2 receptor is trastuzumab, which is used for treatment of breast cancer. This mAb coupled with radionuclides β or α particle emitters are used for radioimmunotherapy. However, radioimmunotherapy with the whole mAb is still limited due to slow pharmacokinetics. This leads to the slow elimination of trastuzumab from the blood and low tumor to blood and tumor to background ratios. To limit this, a small molecule Fab was introduced but the role in HER2 detection by immuno-PET imaging is unknown.
