1 Small-animal PET revealed rapid, specific, and prominent uptake of (64)Cu-DOTA-VEGF(121) in small U87MG tumors (high VEGFR2 expression) but significantly lower and sporadic uptake in large U87MG tumors (low VEGFR2 expression). 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane- 1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid kinase insert domain receptor Homo sapiens
2 Small-animal PET revealed rapid, specific, and prominent uptake of (64)Cu-DOTA-VEGF(121) in small U87MG tumors (high VEGFR2 expression) but significantly lower and sporadic uptake in large U87MG tumors (low VEGFR2 expression). 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane- 1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid kinase insert domain receptor Homo sapiens
3 Blocking experiments, immunofluorescence staining, and western blot confirmed the VEGFR specificity of (64)Cu-DOTA-VEGF(121). 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane- 1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid kinase insert domain receptor Homo sapiens
4 CONCLUSION: Successful demonstration of the ability of (64)Cu-DOTA-VEGF(121) to visualize VEGFR expression in vivo may allow for clinical translation of this radiopharmaceutical for imaging tumor angiogenesis and guiding antiangiogenic treatment, especially patient selection and treatment monitoring of VEGFR-targeted cancer therapy. 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane- 1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid kinase insert domain receptor Homo sapiens
