  • *P < 0.005 compared with 1:30 111In-DTPA-PEG-C225 group.

  • P < 0.05 compared with 1:30 111In-DTPA-PEG-C225 group.

  • Nude mice with EGFR-positive human A431 tumors were injected with 1:30 111In-DTPA-PEG-C225 or 111In-DTPA-C225. Additional 2 groups of mice were pretreated with native C225 30 min or 20 h before injection of 1:30 111In-DTPA-PEG-C225. Mice were dissected 48 h after radiotracer injection, and tissue samples were counted for radioactivity. Data are expressed as mean ± SD of 3 mice per group (%ID/g).
