Abstract
Over the past 25 years, antibodies have emerged as extraordinarily promising vectors for the delivery of radionuclides to tumors for nuclear imaging. While radioimmunoconjugates often produce very high activity concentrations in target tissues, they also are frequently characterized by elevated activity concentrations in healthy organs as well. The root of this background uptake lies in the complex network of biological interactions between the radioimmunoconjugate and the subject. In this review, we seek to provide an overview of these interactions and thus paint a general picture of the in vivo fate of radioimmunoconjugates. To cover the entire story, we have divided our discussion into 2 parts. First, we will address the path of the entire radioimmunoconjugate as it travels through the body. And second, we will cover the fate of the radionuclide itself, as its course can diverge from the antibody under certain circumstances. Ultimately, our goal is to provide the nuclear imaging field with a resource covering these important-yet often underestimated-pathways.

Abstract
TROP-2 is a glycoprotein first described as a surface marker of trophoblast cells, but subsequently shown to be increased in many solid cancers, with lower expression in certain normal tissues. It regulates cancer growth, invasion and spread by several signaling pathways, and has a role in stem cell biology and other diseases. This review summarizes TROP-2's properties, especially in cancer, and particularly its role as a target for antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) or immunotherapy. When the irinotecan metabolite, SN-38, is conjugated to a humanized anti-TROP-2 antibody (sacituzumab govitecan), it shows potent broad anticancer activity in human cancer xenografts and in patients with advanced triple-negative breast, non-small cell and small-cell lung, as well as urothelial cancers.

L-Tyrosine Confers Residualizing Properties to a d-Amino Acid-Rich Residualizing Peptide for Radioiodination of Internalizing Antibodies. Mol Imaging 2016; 15:1536012116647535. [PMID: 27457521 PMCID: PMC5470130 DOI: 10.1177/1536012116647535] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2015] [Revised: 08/28/2015] [Accepted: 03/17/2016] [Indexed: 12/01/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE The aims of the study were to develop and evaluate a novel residualizing peptide for labeling internalizing antibodies with (124)I to support clinical development using immuno-positron emission tomography (PET). METHODS The anti-epidermal growth factor receptor antibody ch806 was radiolabeled directly or indirectly with isotopes and various residualizing peptides. Azido-derivatized radiolabeled peptides were conjugated to dibenzylcyclooctyne-derivatized ch806 antibody via click chemistry. The radiochemical purities, antigen-expressing U87MG.de2-7 human glioblastoma cell-binding properties, and targeting of xenografts at 72 hours post injection of all radioconjugates were compared. Biodistribution of (124)I-PEG4-tptddYddtpt-ch806 and immuno-PET imaging were evaluated in tumor-bearing mice. RESULTS Biodistribution studies using xenografts at 72 hours post injection showed that (131)I-PEG4-tptddYddtpt-ch806 tumor uptake was similar to (111)In-CHX-A″-DTPA-ch806. (125)I-PEG4-tptddyddtpt-ch806 showed a lower tumor uptake value but higher than directly labeled (125)I-ch806. (124)I-PEG4-tptddYddtpt-ch806 was produced at 23% labeling efficiency, 98% radiochemical purity, 25.9 MBq/mg specific activity, and 64% cell binding in the presence of antigen excess. Tumor uptake for (124)I-PEG4-tptddYddtpt-ch806 was similar to (111)In-CHX-A″-DTPA-ch806. High-resolution immuno-PET/magnetic resonance imaging of tumors showed good correlation with biodistribution data. CONCLUSIONS The mixed d/l-enantiomeric peptide, dThr-dPro-dThr-dAsp-dAsp-Tyr-dAsp-dAsp-dThr-dPro-dThr, is suitable for radiolabeling antibodies with radiohalogens such as (124)I for high-resolution immuno-PET imaging of tumors and for evaluation in early-phase clinical trials.

Biodistribution of (125)I-labeled anti-endoglin antibody using SPECT/CT imaging: Impact of in vivo deiodination on tumor accumulation in mice. Nucl Med Biol 2016; 43:415-23. [PMID: 27179250 DOI: 10.1016/j.nucmedbio.2016.03.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2016] [Revised: 03/25/2016] [Accepted: 03/26/2016] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Radiolabeled antibodies directed against endoglin (CD105) are promising tools for imaging and antiangiogenic cancer therapy. To validate iodinated antibodies as reliable tracers, we investigated the influence of the radiolabeling method (direct or indirect) on their in vivo stability. METHODS Anti-CD105 mAbs were radioiodinated directly using chloramine-T ((125)I-anti-CD105-mAbs) or indirectly using D-KRYRR peptide as a linker ((125)I-KRYRR-anti-CD105-mAbs). The biodistribution was studied in B16 tumor-bearing mice via SPECT/CT imaging. RESULTS Radioiodinated mAbs were stable in vitro. In vivo, thyroid showed the most important increase of uptake after 24h for (125)I-anti-CD105-mAbs (91.9±4.0%ID/ml) versus(125)I-KRYRR-anti-CD105-mAbs (4.4±0.6%ID/ml). Tumor uptake of (125)I-anti-CD105-mAbs (0.9±0.3%ID/ml) was significantly lower than that of (125)I-KRYRR-anti-CD105-mAbs (4.7±0.2%ID/ml). CONCLUSIONS An accurate characterization of the in vivo stability of radioiodinated mAbs and the choice of an appropriate method for the radioiodination are required, especially for novel targets. The indirect radioiodination of internalizing anti-CD105 mAbs leads to more stable tracer by decreasing in vivo deiodination and improves the tumor retention of radioiodinated mAbs. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE AND IMPLICATIONS FOR PATIENT CARE To date, the only antiangiogenic antibody approved for clinical indications is bevacizumab. There is a need to develop more antibodies that have targets highly expressed on tumor endothelium. CD105 represents a promising marker of angiogenesis, but its therapeutic relevance in cancer needs to be further investigated. In this context, this study suggests the potential use of indirectly iodinated anti-CD105 mAbs for tumor imaging and for therapeutic purposes.

N-Succinimidyl guanidinomethyl iodobenzoate protein radiohalogenation agents: influence of isomeric substitution on radiolabeling and target cell residualization. Nucl Med Biol 2014; 41:802-12.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION N-succinimidyl 4-guanidinomethyl-3-[(*)I]iodobenzoate ([(*)I]SGMIB) has shown promise for the radioiodination of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and other proteins that undergo extensive internalization after receptor binding, enhancing tumor targeting compared to direct electrophilic radioiodination. However, radiochemical yields for [(131)I]SGMIB synthesis are low, which we hypothesize is due to steric hindrance from the Boc-protected guanidinomethyl group ortho to the tin moiety. To overcome this, we developed the isomeric compound, N-succinimidyl 3-guanidinomethyl-5-[(131)I]iodobenzoate (iso-[(131)I]SGMIB) wherein this bulky group was moved from ortho to meta position. METHODS Boc2-iso-SGMIB standard and its tin precursor, N-succinimidyl 3-((1,2-bis(tert-butoxycarbonyl)guanidino)methyl)-5-(trimethylstannyl)benzoate (Boc2-iso-SGMTB), were synthesized using two disparate routes, and iso-[*I]SGMIB synthesized from the tin precursor. Two HER2-targeted vectors - trastuzumab (Tras) and a nanobody 5F7 (Nb) - were labeled using iso-[(*)I]SGMIB and [(*)I]SGMIB. Paired-label internalization assays in vitro with both proteins, and biodistribution in vivo with trastuzumab, labeled using the two isomeric prosthetic agents were performed. RESULTS When the reactions were performed under identical conditions, radioiodination yields for the synthesis of Boc2-iso-[(131)I]SGMIB were significantly higher than those for Boc2-[(131)I]SGMIB (70.7±2.0% vs 56.5±5.5%). With both Nb and trastuzumab, conjugation efficiency also was higher with iso-[(131)I]SGMIB than with [(131)I]SGMIB (Nb, 33.1±7.1% vs 28.9±13.0%; Tras, 45.1±4.5% vs 34.8±10.3%); however, the differences were not statistically significant. Internalization assays performed on BT474 cells with 5F7 Nb indicated similar residualizing capacity over 6h; however, at 24h, radioactivity retained intracellularly for iso-[(131)I]SGMIB-Nb was lower than for [(125)I]SGMIB-Nb (46.4±1.3% vs 56.5±2.5%); similar results were obtained using Tras. Likewise, a paired-label biodistribution of Tras labeled using iso-[(125)I]SGMIB and [(131)I]SGMIB indicated an up to 22% tumor uptake advantage at later time points for [(131)I]SGMIB-Tras. CONCLUSION Given the higher labeling efficiency obtained with iso-SGMIB, this residualizing agent might be of value for use with shorter half-life radiohalogens.

Abstract
A known limitation of iodine radionuclides for labeling and biological tracking of receptor targeted proteins is the tendency of iodotyrosine to rapidly diffuse from cells following endocytosis and lysosomal degradation. In contrast, radiometal-chelate complexes such as indium-111-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid (In-111-DOTA) accumulate within target cells due to the residualizing properties of the polar, charged metal-chelate-amino acid adduct. Iodine radionuclides boast a diversity of nuclear properties and chemical means for incorporation, prompting efforts to covalently link radioiodine with residualizing molecules. Herein, we describe the Ugi-assisted synthesis of [I-125]HIP-DOTA, a 4-hydroxy-3-iodophenyl (HIP) derivative of DOTA, and demonstration of its residualizing properties in a murine xenograft model. Overall, this study displays the power of multicomponent synthesis to yield a versatile radioactive probe for antibodies across multiple therapeutic areas with potential applications in both preclinical biodistribution studies and clinical radioimmunotherapies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Aminopeptidase P (APP) is specifically enriched in caveolae on the luminal surface of pulmonary vascular endothelium. APP antibodies bind lung endothelium in vivo and are rapidly and actively pumped across the endothelium into lung tissue. Here we characterize the immunotargeting properties and pharmacokinetics of the APP-specific recombinant antibody 833c. METHODS We used in situ binding, biodistribution analysis and in vivo imaging to assess the lung targeting of 833c. RESULTS More than 80% of 833c bound during the first pass through isolated perfused lungs. Dynamic SPECT acquisition showed that 833c rapidly and specifically targeted the lungs in vivo, reaching maximum levels within 2 min after intravenous injection. CT-SPECT imaging revealed specific targeting of 833c to the thoracic cavity and co-localization with a lung perfusion marker, Tc99m-labeled macroaggregated albumin. Biodistribution analysis confirmed lung-specific uptake of 833c which declined by first-order kinetics (t(½) = 110 h) with significant levels of 833c still present 30 days after injection. CONCLUSION These data show that APP expressed in endothelial caveolae appears to be readily accessible to circulating antibody rather specifically in lung. Targeting lung-specific caveolar APP provides an extraordinarily rapid and specific means to target pulmonary vasculature and potentially deliver therapeutic agents into the lung tissue.

Abstract
AIMS Many lymphoma patients have both macroscopic tumors and single-cell manifestations of their disease. Treatment efficacy could, therefore, depend on the radionuclide used. The aim of this study was to investigate dosimetry at a cellular level for three isotopes of radioiodine. METHODS Cells were assumed to be spherical with radii of 6.35, 7.7, and 9.05 microm corresponding to the dimensions of the Raji cells. The radius of the nucleus was assumed to be 75% of the cellular radius. The electron energies were 18, 28, and 190 keV, corresponding to the mean electron energy per decay for (125)I, (123)I, and (131)I, respectively. S-values for different activity distributions were simulated using Monte Carlo and dose-volume histograms as well as absorbed doses, and absorbed dose rates were calculated. RESULTS (125)I gives the highest absorbed dose (approximately 4-40 times that of (131)I), whereas (123)I will give the highest absorbed dose rate (approximately 100 times that of (131)I). Under the given assumptions, the absorbed dose at this level is more dependent on the size of the cells than on whether the radioimmunoconjugate is internalized. CONCLUSIONS This enquiry showed that both (123)I and (125)I have greater potential than (131)I for the treatment of leukemic spread in patients with lymphoma.

Abstract
This protocol describes a detailed procedure for the synthesis of N-succinimidyl 4-guanidinomethyl-3-[*I]iodobenzoate ([*I]SGMIB), an agent useful in the radio-iodination of proteins, including monoclonal Abs, and peptides that undergo internalization after receptor or antigen binding. In this procedure, the tin precursor N-succinimidyl 4-[N1,N2-bis(tert-butyloxycarbonyl)guanidinomethyl]-3-(trimethylstannyl)benzoate (Boc-SGMTB, 3) was first radio-iodinated to [*I]Boc-SGMIB, a derivative of [*I]SGMIB with the guanidine function protected with Boc groups. Treatment of [*I]Boc-SGMIB with trifluoroacetic acid delivered the final product. The total time for the synthesis and purification of [*I]Boc-SGMIB and its subsequent de-protection is approximately 140 min.

Abstract
PURPOSE A disadvantage of conventionally radioiodinated monoclonal antibodies (mAb) for cancer therapy is the short retention time of the radionuclide within target cells. To address this issue, we recently developed a method in which radioiodine is introduced onto antibodies using an adduct consisting of a nonmetabolizable peptide attached to the aminopolycarboxylate diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid, designated IMP-R4. This adduct causes the radioiodine to become trapped in lysosomes following antibody catabolism. Clinical-scale production of 131I-IMP-R4-labeled antibodies is possible using a recently developed facile method. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN The properties of 131I-IMP-R4-labeled anticarcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) humanized mAb hMN-14 were compared with the directly radioiodinated hMN-14 (131I-hMN-14) in CEA-expressing human colon cancer cell lines, LoVo and LS174T, and in nude mice bearing established LoVo tumor xenografts. RESULTS 125I-IMP-R4-hMN-14 retention in the cell lines was significantly increased (61.5% after 3 days) compared with 125I-hMN-14. In vivo, a significant improvement in tumor accretion of radiolabel was obtained using 131I-IMP-R4-hMN-14, which led to a marked improvement in therapeutic efficacy. Eight weeks post-treatment, mean tumor volumes were 0.16 +/- 0.19 and 1.99 +/- 1.35 cm3 in mice treated with 131I-IMP-R4-hMN-14 and 131I-hMN-14, respectively, with complete remissions observed in 27% of mice treated with 131I-IMP-R4-hMN-14 and none using 131I-hMN-14. CONCLUSION 131I-IMP-R4-hMN-14 provides a significant therapeutic advantage in comparison to the conventionally 131I-labeled antibody. The ability of this labeling method to lend itself to clinical-scale labeling, the broad applicability of a humanized anti-CEA mAb for CEA-expressing cancers, and the clinical benefits of radioimmunotherapy with anti-CEA mAb shown recently for small-volume and minimal residual disease combine to make 131I-IMP-R4-hMN-14 a promising new agent for radioimmunotherapy.

Abstract
Recent success in the development of monoclonal antibody-based anti-cancer drugs has largely benefitted from the advancements made in recombinant technologies and cell culture production. These reagents, derived from the antibodies of mouse origin, while maintaining the exquisite specificity and affinity to the tumor antigens, have low immunogenicity and toxicity in human. High-level expressing cell clones are generated and used to produce large quantities of the recombinant antibodies in bioreactors in order to meet the clinical demand for therapeutic applications. In this report, the systems and general methodologies developed by us to construct and produce humanized antibodies from the parent mouse antibodies are described. Once the humanized antibodies are available, they can be applied in three principal forms for cancer therapy: (1) naked antibodies, (2) drug- or toxin conjugates, and (3) radioconjugates. Using the humanized anti-CD22 (epratuzumab) and anti-carcinoembryonic antigen (ant-CEA; labetuzumab) antibody prototypes, clinical applications of naked and radiolabeled humanized monoclonal antibodies are described.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies such as L8A4, reactive with the epidermal growth factor receptor variant III, internalize after receptor binding resulting in proteolytic degradation by lysosomes. Labeling internalizing mAbs requires the use of methodologies that result in the trapping of labeled catabolites in tumor cells after intracellular processing. Herein we have investigated the potential utility of N-succinimidyl-3-[131I]iodo-4-phosphonomethylbenzoate ([131I]SIPMB), an acylation agent that couples the corresponding negatively charged acid [131I]IPMBA to the protein, for this purpose. Biodistribution studies demonstrated that [131I]IPMBA cleared rapidly from normal tissues and exhibited thyroid levels < or =0.1% injected dose, consistent with a low degree of dehalogenation. Biodistribution experiments in athymic mice bearing subcutaneous D-256 human glioma xenografts were performed to compare L8A4 labeled using [131I]SIPMB to L8A4 labeled with 125I using both the analogous positively charged acylation agent N-succinimidyl-4-guanidinomethyl-3-[125I]iodobenzoate ([125I]SGMIB) and Iodogen. Tumor uptake of [131I]SIPMB-L8A4 (41.9+/-3.5% ID/g) was nearly threefold that of L8A4 labeled using Iodogen (14.0+/-1.1% ID/g) after 2 days, and tumor to tissue ratios remained uniformly high throughout with [131I]SIPMB-L8A4. Thyroid uptake increased for the Iodogen labeled mAb (3.55+/-0.36 %ID at 5 days) whereas that of [131I]SIPMB labeled mAb remained low (0.21+/-0.04% ID at 5 days). In the second biodistribution, L8A4 labeled using [131I]SIPMB and [125I]SGMIB showed no difference in normal tissue uptake and had nearly identical tumor uptake ([131I]SIPMB, 41.8+/-14.2% ID/g; [125I]SGMIB, 41.6+/-15.8% ID/g, at 4 days). These results suggest that [131I]SIPMB may be a viable acylation agent for the radioiodination of internalizing mAbs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A humanized monoclonal antibody (MAb), hRS7, labeled with 131I-IMP-R4, was evaluated for the preclinical radioimmunotherapy (RAIT) of breast cancer. 131I-IMP-R4 is an improved residualizing form of 131I that overcomes the short tumor residence time associated with conventionally radioiodinated MAbs. RS7, an internalizing MAb, recognizes epithelial glycoprotein-1, which is highly expressed in the carcinomas of breast, lung, ovary, and prostate. METHODS A humanized version of RS7 was generated by CDR-grafting and transfection. In vivo experiments were carried out in nude mice bearing subcutaneous MDA-MB-468 human breast cancer xenografts. Therapy experiments were performed using established tumors with mean tumor volume (MTV) of 0.3 cm3, and single administrations, at approximately 70% of the estimated maximum tolerated doses (MTD), of the residualizing 131I-IMP-R4-hRS7 and 131I-hRS7 prepared by the conventional chloramine-T method [131I-hRS7 (CT)]. Therapeutic specificity was determined by comparison with untreated and non-specific MAb controls. RESULTS hRS7 was functionally very similar to murine and chimeric RS7. A biodistribution study using 125I-IMP-R4-hRS7 and 131I-hRS7 (CT) indicated a dosimetric advantage for the former. The MTVs 8 weeks post-treatment were 20, 163, and 280% of the starting MTVs of 131I-IMP-R4-hRS7-treated, 131I-hRS7 (CT)-treated, and untreated groups, respectively. Complete remissions were seen in 5 of 11 [and 6 of 8] mice treated with 131I-IMP-R4-hRS7, and in 1 of 11 mice treated with 131I-hRS7(CT). 131I-IMP-R4-hRS7 was significantly more efficacious than 131I-hRS7 (CT) [ P = 0.01 for AUC] and the control 131I-IMP-R4-MAb. CONCLUSION 131I-IMP-R4-hRS7 is a promising new agent for RAIT, providing significant therapeutic advantage in comparison to the conventionally 131I-labeled antibody.

Abstract
Biologically active peptides have during the last decades made their way into conventional nuclear medicine diagnosis using single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and gamma-camera. Several clinical trails are also investigating the role of radiolabeled peptides for targeting radionuclide therapy. This has raised the question as to whether positron emission tomography (PET) can be used in order to obtain better quantitative information of the peptide distribution in tumor and healthy organs, i.e., to get a better dosimetry. Positron emitting analogs of the therapeutic radionuclides used have been produced and successfully applied in peptide pharmacokinetic measurements with PET. But the recent boom in (18)FDG-PET ((18)FDG = [(18)F]2-deoxy-2-fluoro-D-glucose), and with this a worldwide increasing number of PET systems, has also inspired several research groups to hunt for alternative labels to be used for peptide diagnostics and PET. The rapid kinetic of short peptides agrees well with the short half-lives of standard PET nuclides like (11)C and (18)F. Especially, (18)F appears to be excellent for labeling bioactive peptides due to its favorable physical and nuclear characteristics. However, with present techniques labeling peptides with (18)F is laborious and time-consuming, and is not yet a clinical alternative. Other halogens like (75, 76)Br and (124)I are, from the chemical point of view, easier to apply. But an even better labeling alternative may be positron emitting metal ions like (55)Co, (68)Ga, and (110m)In since they tend to give better intracellular retention and thus a better signal-to-background ratio than the halogen labels. The main drawback with these radionuclides is that they are not readily available. Some of these radionuclides also emit gamma in their decay that may affect the measuring properties of the PET equipment. This article reviews mainly the present situation of production and use of nonconventional positron emitters for peptide labeling.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to develop a method for labeling internalizing monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) such as those reactive to the anti-epidermal growth factor receptor variant III (EGFRvIII) with the alpha-particle emitting radionuclide (211)At. Based on previous work utilizing the guanidine-containing acylation agent, N-succinimidyl 4-guanidinomethyl-3-[(131)I]iodobenzoate ([(131)I]SGMIB), we have now investigated the potential utility of its astato analogue for labeling the anti-EGFRvIII mAb L8A4. N-succinimidyl 3-[(211)At]astato-4-guanidinomethylbenzoate ([(211)At]SAGMB) in its Boc-protected form was prepared from a tin precursor in 61.7 +/- 13.1% radiochemical yield, in situ deprotected to [(211)At]SAGMB, which was coupled to L8A4 in 36.1 +/- 1.9% yield. Paired-label internalization assays demonstrated that tumor cell retention of radioactivity for L8A4 labeled using [(211)At]SAGMB was almost identical to L8A4 labeled using [(131)I]SGMIB, and 3-4-fold higher than for mAb radioiodinated using Iodogen. Paired-label biodistribution of L8A4 labeled using [(211)At]SAGMB and [(131)I]SGMIB in athymic mice hosting U87MGdeltaEGFR xenografts resulted in identical uptake of both (211)At and (131)I in tumor tissues over 24 h. Although higher levels of (211)At compared with (131)I were sometimes seen in tissues known to sequester free astatide, these (211)At/(131)I uptake ratios were considerably lower than those seen with other labeling methods. These results suggest that [(211)At]SAGMB may be a useful acylation agent for labeling internalizing mAbs with (211)At.

Abstract
Targeting of tumor cells with radiolabeled biomolecules is a possible approach to inactivate disseminated tumor cells. However, rapid degradation of the biomolecules after cellular internalization and subsequent excretion of the radioactivity is a problem. We studied the possibility of using dextran as a carrier of radionuclides to improve the intracellular retention. An EGF-dextran conjugate, aimed for targeting of tumor cells overexpressing the EGF-receptor, was used as model. Retention tests were performed with (125)I on different parts: [(125)I]-EGF-dextran-[(125)I], [(125)I]-EGF-dextran and EGF-dextran-[(125)I]. Comparisons were made with [(125)I]-EGF. The radiolabeled compounds were incubated with cultured glioma cells for different times. The cellular retention of radioactivity was then measured for up to 24 h. Expected radiation doses at the cellular level were calculated assuming that (131)I, instead of (125)I, was coupled to EGF and EGF-dextran. The results indicated that the EGF-part of the conjugate was degraded and the EGF-attached radioactivity was rapidly excreted, whereas radioactivity on dextran was retained intracellularly to a high degree, i.e. 70-80% of the radioactivity bound to dextran was still cell-associated after 24 h. The retention after 24 h was significantly higher (p < 0.001) when the radioactivity was on the dextran instead of the EGF-part. The radiolabeled EGF-dextran had a notably high specific radioactivity; up to 11 MBq/microg. There was potential for at least hundred times increased radiation dose per receptor interaction when the radioactivity was on the dextran part. The advantage with radioactivity on the dextran part was the high cellular retention and the high specific radioactivity (higher than previously reported for other residualizing labels) without severe loss of receptor specific binding. Thus, dextran seems suitable as a carrier of radionuclides aimed for therapy and gives potential for a highly increased radiation dose.

Abstract
Radionuclide therapy is a promising modality for treatment of tumours of haematopoietic origin while the success for treatment of solid tumours so far has been limited. The authors consider radionuclide therapy mainly as a method to eradicate disseminated tumour cells and small metastases while bulky tumours and large metastases have to be treated surgically or by external radiation therapy. The promising therapeutic results for haematological tumours give hope that radionuclide therapy will have a breakthrough also for treatment of disseminated cells from solid tumours. New knowledge related to this is continuously emerging since new molecular target structures are being characterised and the knowledge on pharmacokinetics and cellular processing of different types of targeting agents increases. There is also improved understanding of the factors of importance for the choice of appropriate radionuclides with respect to their decay properties and the therapeutic applications. Furthermore, new methods to modify the uptake of radionuclides in tumour cells and normal tissues are emerging. However, we still need improvements regarding dosimetry and treatment planning as well as an increased knowledge about the tolerance doses for normal tissues and the radiobiological effects on tumour cells. This is especially important in targeted radionuclide therapy where the dose rates often are lower than 1Gy/h.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) such as the tumor-specific anti-epidermal growth factor receptor variant III (EGFRvIII) that are internalized and degraded after cell binding necessitate the use of radioiodination methods that minimize the loss of radioactivity from the tumor cell after intracellular processing. The purpose of the current study was to determine the suitability of N-succinimidyl 4-guanidinomethyl-3-iodobenzoate (SGMIB) for labeling this internalizing mAb. A series of paired-label biodistribution experiments were performed in athymic mice bearing subcutaneous, EGFRvIII-expressing, D-256 human glioma and U87 Delta EGFR xenografts. The tissue distribution of radioiodine activity following injection of anti-EGFRvIII mAb L8A4 labeled using N-succinimidyl 4-guanidinomethyl-3-iodobenzoate (SGMIB) were compared to those for mAb labeled using Iodogen, N-succinimidyl 3-iodo-5-pyridinecarboxylate (SIPC) as well as the Boc-protected precursor of SGMIB. Tumor uptake of radioiodine activity for mAb labeled via SGMIB was significantly higher than co-administered L8A4 radioiodinated by other methods. For example, 3 days after injection, D-256 tumor uptake of L8A4 labeled via SGMIB was 20.4 +/- 4.6% ID/g compared with 11.7 +/- 5.5% ID/g when the SIPC method was used. Thyroid uptake for L8A4 (SGMIB) was up to 36 times lower than L8A4 (Iodogen) and less than 0.35% in all experiments, indicating a low degree of deiodination in vivo. These results suggest that SGMIB may be a useful reagent for the radioiodination of this internalizing anti-EGFRvIII mAb.

Abstract
We have recently reported that a radioiodinated, DTPA-appended peptide, designated IMP-R1, is a residualizing iodine label that overcomes many of the limitations that have impeded the development of residualizing iodine for clinical use. In this study the potential of 131I-IMP-R1-RS7, an internalizing anti-EGP-1 monoclonal antibody, was evaluated by performing preclinical therapy studies in nude mice bearing Calu-3 human non-small cell carcinoma of the lung xenografis. Elimination of 6 of 9 established tumors (mean tumor volume=0.3 cm(3)) was observed using a single dose of 350 microCi/mouse of 131I-IMP-R1-RS7, with all animals tolerating the dose. At the same dose and specific activity of 131I-RS7, labeled using the conventional chloramine-T method, there were four deaths, and one complete remission in nine treated mice. At the maximum tolerated dose of conventionally 131I-labeled RS7, 275 microCi, mean stable disease for approximately 5 weeks was observed, with no complete responses. Specificity of the therapeutic effect was shown in an isotype-matched control experiment, where 131I-IMP-R1-RS7 was markedly more effective than the (131)I-IMP-R1-labeled control antibody. These studies demonstrate that (131)I-IMP-R1-RS7 provides a therapeutic advantage in comparison to conventional 131I-labeled RS7, as predicted by the increased tumor accretion observed previously in targeting studies. A direct comparison of the maximum tolerated doses of (131)I-IMP-R1-RS7 (350 microCi) and 90Y-DOTA-RS7 (105 microCi) was performed in this tumor model using large established tumors (mean tumor volume=0.85 cm(3)). Anti-tumor efficacy and toxicity of the two treatments were comparable.

Abstract
The use of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) as radiation carriers in argeted radiotherapy of cancers has produced striking clinical responses in hematologic diseases, such as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Novel strategies are currently being examined in an effort to improve efficacy in solid tumor therapies. Two of these strategies involve minimizing the systemic toxicity of a circulating radionuclide via 'pretargeting', and the sensitization of tumors to radiation by combination therapy with radiosensitizing drugs. Advances made in radiolabeling chemistries and in the use of alpha-particle emitters can also improve utility. Clinical evidence suggests that radioimmunotherapy may be best applied in minimal-disease and adjuvant settings in combination with other cancer therapy modalities.

Abstract
We investigated the in vitro cytotoxic potential of Auger electron-emitting radionuclides delivered to the cytoplasm or, more specifically, to lysosomes, via antibodies. The antibody (Ab) used was LL1, which is specific for CD74, an epitope of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II antigen invariant chain, Ii, present on the cell surface. It is taken up in large amounts, approximately 10(7) Ab molecules per cell per day, and delivered to lysosomes. The radioisotopes tested included (111)In, 99mTc and 125I. With sufficient specific activity, approximately 10 mCi/mg Ab, all of these isotopes were potent cytotoxic agents. 125I was active only if a "residualizing" form was used, meaning a form that is trapped within cells after catabolism of the Ab to which it was conjugated (conventional oxidative iodination produces a non-residualizing label). The conjugates of (111)In and 99mTc used are known to be residualizing. One hundred percent cell kill in vitro was obtained with (111)In and 125I, under conditions in which a non-reactive control Ab, conjugated in the same way, produced no significant toxicity. 99mTc was also potent and specific, but appeared somewhat less active than the other isotopes under the conditions evaluated. Although few Abs are accreted by cells at the same rate as LL1, it may be possible to use other Abs to deliver similar amounts of radioactivity, if Abs with higher specific activity can be produced. Such conjugated radioisotopes may be useful for attacking tumor cells in vivo, particularly for single cells or micrometastases.
