Abstract
- The humanized antibody (hu1G8) has been shown to localize to prostate stem cell antigen (PSCA) and image PSCA-positive xenografts. We previously constructed hu1G8 anti-PSCA antibody fragments and tested them for tumor targeting and the ability to image prostate cancer at early and late time points postinjection by positron emission tomography (PET). We now then compare the PET imaging and the radioactivity accumulation properties in prostate cancer tumors and nontarget tissues to determine the superior 124I-labeled hu1G8 antibody format. 124I-labeled diabody, minibody, scFv-Fc, scFv-Fc double mutant (DM), and parental IgG were administered into severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) mice bearing LAPC-9 xenografts and followed by whole-body PET imaging of mice at preselected time points. Regions of interest were manually drawn around tumor and nontarget tissues and evaluated for radioactivity accumulation. The 124I-hu1G8 IgG has its best time point for tumor high-contrast imaging at 168 hours postinjection. The 124I-hu1G8 minibody at 44 hours postinjection results in superior tumor high-contrast imaging compared to the other antibody formats. The 124I-hu1G8 minibody at 44 hours postinjection also has comparable percent tumor radioactivity compared to 124I-hu1G8 IgG at 168 hours postinjection. The 124I-hu1G8 minibody is the best engineered hu1G8 antibody format for imaging prostate cancer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
