Abstract
Recently, we selected a novel anti-hPD-L1-specific HCAb named Nb6 with high affinity (EC50 = 0.65 ng/mL) for potential hPD-L1 targeted non-invasive PET imaging. In this research, Nb6 was conjugated with the bifunctional chelator NCS-Bz-NOTA ((2-[(4-Isothiocyanophenyl) methyl]-1,4,7-triazacy-clononane-1,4,7-triacetic acid)) and further labeled with radio-nuclide 64Cu. 64Cu-NOTA-Nb6 was prepared with over 95% labeling yield, over 99% radiochemical purity and 14–16 GBq/μmol specific activity after PD-10 column purification. It shows good stability in 0.01 M PBS and 5% HSA solutions. 64Cu-NOTA-Nb6 has a high binding affinity to 3.60 nM which was tested by humanlungadenocarcinoma A549 cell lines. Tumor lesion can be clearly observed from 20 h to 38 h by Micro-PET equipment after 64Cu-NOTA-Nb6 administration. The study revealed that 64Cu-NOTA-Nb6 has good lesion detection ability, high ratios between tumor and non-tumor signal and can specifically target A549 xenografted tumor model. Taken together of good stability, high binding affinity, and tumor detection ability, 64Cu labeled Nb6 is a promising radio-tracer in diagnosing of hPD-L1 overexpression tumor, supposed to monitor PD-L1overexpression tumor progression and guide targeted therapy with PET molecular imaging.
