: Noninvasive PET imaging-based assessment of PD-L1 expression is of high clinical value for better patient selection and treatment response rates to PD-L1 immunotherapies. Due to their shorter biological half-life and faster clearance from the blood pool, radiolabeled antibody fragments are an attractive alternative for imaging than their full-length IgG counterpart. This work investigated the radiosynthesis and in vitro cell uptake of anti-PD-L1-B11-nanobody radiolabeled with Sc (t = 4.04 h) as an alternative to anti-PD-L1-B11-IgG, better suited for longer half-life radioisotopes such as Zr (t = 78.41 h). : The proteins were conjugated with p-SCN-Bn-DTPA and radiolabeled at room temperature with Sc, achieving a radiochemical yield of a RCY of 94.8 ± 3.1% ( = 3) for [Sc]Sc-B11-IgG and 73.6 ± 12.1% ( = 3) for [Sc]Sc-B11-nanobody, before purification. : Significantly higher uptake in the PD-L1 cells than PD-L1 cells was observed for both probes. However, high non-specific uptake, particularly of the radiolabeled B11-nanobody, was also observed which may negatively impact its potential as a molecular imaging probe. : Due to the high non-specific uptake in vitro, the Sc radiolabeled nanobody was not progressed to further in vivo evaluation. These results should, however, not discourage future evaluations of other nanobody based probes radiolabeled with Sc, due to their well-matched biological and physical half-life.
基于非侵入性PET成像评估PD-L1表达对于更好地选择患者以及提高PD-L1免疫疗法的治疗反应率具有很高的临床价值。由于放射性标记的抗体片段具有较短的生物半衰期和更快的血池清除率,与全长IgG相比,它们是更具吸引力的成像替代物。本研究调查了用钪(半衰期t = 4.04小时)标记的抗PD-L1 - B11纳米抗体的放射性合成及其体外细胞摄取情况,以替代抗PD-L1 - B11 - IgG,后者更适合半衰期较长的放射性同位素如锆(半衰期t = 78.41小时)。蛋白质与对氨基硫氰基苄基 - DTPA偶联,并在室温下用钪进行放射性标记,纯化前,[钪]钪 - B11 - IgG的放射化学产率(RCY)为94.8±3.1%(n = 3),[钪]钪 - B11 - 纳米抗体的放射化学产率为73.6±12.1%(n = 3)。两种探针在PD-L1阳性细胞中的摄取均显著高于PD-L1阴性细胞。然而,也观察到了较高的非特异性摄取,尤其是放射性标记的B11 - 纳米抗体,这可能会对其作为分子成像探针的潜力产生负面影响。由于体外非特异性摄取较高,钪标记的纳米抗体未进一步进行体内评估。然而,由于其生物学和物理半衰期匹配良好,这些结果不应阻碍未来对其他用钪标记的基于纳米抗体的探针的评估。
