Development of an enzymatic pretargeting strategy for dual-modality imaging

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 Mar 7;51(19):4055-8. doi: 10.1039/c4cc10265g.

Abstract

A pretargeted imaging strategy based on the HaloTag dehalogenase enzyme is described. Here, a HaloTag-Trastuzumab conjugate has been used as the primary agent targeting HER2 expression, and three new radiolabelled HaloTag ligands have been used as secondary agents, two of which offer dual-modality (SPECT/optical) imaging capability.
