    (A) Static 68Ga-BMS-986192 PET imaging examples in PD-L1–positive (yellow arrows) and wild-type (blue arrows) U-698-M xenograft–bearing NSG mice. Images are maximum-intensity projections (5–6 MBq, 4.5–5.5 μg) obtained at 1 and 2 h after injection (p.i.). Mouse at far right received 68Ga-BMS-986192 plus blocking with unlabeled adnectin, 9 mg/kg. (B) ROI quantification of static PET scans (mean %ID/g).
