Placental growth factor (PlGF)-specific uptake in tumor microenvironment of 89Zr-labeled PlGF antibody RO5323441.

Unlabelled: Placental growth factor (PlGF) is a member of the proangiogenic vascular endothelial growth factor family, which is upregulated in many tumors. RO5323441, a humanized monoclonal antibody against PlGF, showed antitumor activity in human tumor xenografts. We therefore aimed to radiolabel RO5323441 and preclinically validate this tracer to study drug tumor uptake and organ distribution by PET imaging.
