概要を表示する
Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), a transmembrane glycoprotein, is highly expressed by virtually all prostate cancers and is currently the focus of several diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. We have previously reported on the generation of several monoclonal antibodies (mAb) and antibody fragments that recognize and bind with high affinity to the extracellular domain of cell-adherent PSMA. This article reports the in vivo behavior and tumor uptake of the radiolabeled anti-PSMA mAb 3/A12 and its potential as a tracer for PET. | 19289418

概要を表示する
Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is an excellent candidate for targeting prostate cancer by virtue of its restricted expression on prostatic epithelial cells and its upregulation on prostatic carcinoma cells. PSMA is expressed on the cell surface displaying a specific three-dimensional structure. Therefore, only antibodies with a high cell binding activity will have an important impact on antibody-based imaging and therapy. | 16894535
