Abstract
Commonly applied methods for radiometal-labeling of proteins require complex and protracted derivatization reactions of the protein and the subsequent radiolabeling is time-consuming due to the low reaction temperatures applicable. Therefore, a convenient and efficient prelabeling technique for proteins using the DOTA derivative 2,2′,2′′-(10-(2-(2-mercaptoethylamino)-2-oxoethyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7-triyl)triacetic acid (thiol-DOTA) containing a thiol moiety for rapid and selective introduction into maleimide-derivatized proteins was developed. Thiol-DOTA was labeled with 68Ga, 90Y and 177Lu and subsequently introduced into bovine serum albumin and a human IgG with maximum radiochemical yields of 66%. The entire radiolabeling procedure was completed after only 30 min making this a favorable new labeling technique for proteins.
