  • No significant differences between groups. Data are expressed as mean %ID/g tissue ± SD; average animal weight = 25.55 ± 1.23 g; average tumor weight = 171 ± 54 mg. One group was treated intraperitoneally with 4 × 10 mg l-lysine ethyl ester (at time = −10 min, 1 h, 2 h, and 3 h after administration of scFv-CC49-streptavidin); control group received NaCl instead of lysine. Mice were sacrificed 24 h after injection of 67Ga-DOTA-biotin (6.90 ± 0.09 MBq [186.5 ± 2.3 μCi]).
