    Biosensor binding studies of ZHER2:477 (A) and FBO-(ZHER2:477)2 (B). Sensorgrams were obtained after injection of various concentrations of purified Affibody molecules onto sensor chip flow cell surface containing amine-coupled Fc–HER2 chimeric protein. Resp. Diff. = response difference.

    Uptake of 18F-FBO-ZHER2:477 (A) and 18F-FBO-(ZHER2:477)2 (B) in SKOV3 tumors over time at 37°C in presence or absence of nonradioactive Affibody molecules. All results, expressed as percentage of activity, are mean of triplicate measurements ± SD.

    Biodistribution results (A, B, D, and E) and tumor-to-normal tissue ratios (C and F) for 18F-FBO-ZHER2:477 (A, B, and C) and 18F-FBO-(ZHER2:477)2 (D, E, and F) in nude mice bearing subcutaneously xenotransplanted SKOV3 tumors (human ovarian cancer) (T). Data are expressed as %ID/g at various times after intravenous injection of 18F-FBO-ZHER2:477 (0.37–1.11 MBq [10–30 μCi]) or 18F-FBO-(ZHER2:477)2 (0.74–1.67 MBq [20–45 μCi]) (n = 3 for each group). 18F-FBO-ZHER2:477 showed significantly higher uptake in SKOV3 tumors than 18F-FBO-(ZHER2:477)2 (P < 0.05).

    In vivo HER2 tumor–targeting specificity of 18F-FBO-ZHER2:477. One-hour biodistribution results (A) and tumor-to-normal tissue ratios (B) are shown for 18F-FBO-ZHER2:477 with or without pretreatment with either 300 μg of ZHER2:477 or 500 μg of trastuzumab. 18F-FBO-ZHER2:477 SKOV3 tumor (T) uptake was significantly inhibited by ZHER2:477 or trastuzumab (P < 0.05) (n = 3).

Arrows indicate locations of tumors. (C) Tumor and muscle time–activity curves derived from multiple-time-point small-animal PET images of mice bearing SKOV3 tumors. Data are shown as mean ± SD %ID/g (n = 3).
