Pre-treatment with PU-H71 was followed by biodistribution studies and immunoPET of 89Zr-DFO-trastuzumab. Expression levels of HER2/were modulated during the first 24 and 48 h post-administration (29.754.43%ID/g and 41.423.64%ID/g, respectively). By 72 h radiotracer uptake (73.6412.17%ID/g) and Western blot analysis demonstrated that HER2/expression recovered to baseline levels. Conclusions/Significance The results indicate that 89Zr-DFO-trastuzumab provides quantitative and highly-specific delineation of HER2/positive tumors, and has potential to be used to measure the efficacy of long-term treatment with Hsp90 inhibitors, like PU-H71, which display extended pharmacodynamic profiles. Introduction In the era of Azilsartan (TAK-536) molecular medicine, antibody-based agents offer unequalled potential as platforms for the development of target-specific therapies.[1] Immunoconjugates are monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) or antibody fragments functionalized with cytotoxic and/or diagnostic payloads. Increasing availability of longer-lived positron-emitting radionuclides such as 64Cu, 86Y, 89Zr and 124I, and improvements in chelation chemistry, have renewed fascination with the usage of positron emission tomography with radioimmunoconjugates (immunoPET) as an instrument for offering real-time, quantitative details on physiological response to treatment.[2]C[5] Proteins from the human epidermal growth-factor receptor kinase (ERBB or HER) signaling network possess became valuable targets for diagnostic imaging with radioimmunoconjugates because of their overexpression in a variety of cancers phenotypes..
In human beings undergoing trastuzumab therapy, the mAb is administered at concentrations >5 mg/kg
