In a group of patients with solitar kidney a radioisotope clearance was performed to determine exactly the renal functional status and to reduce the blind area of standard diagnostical parameters. In 41 percent of these patients a restriction of the glomerular or tubular value was found. In the same way the function-diminishing effect of hypertension on renal plasma flow and tubular-secretory function was determine. In the present study of dynamic radioisotope investigations in patients with solitar kidney could be verified.

Background: Programmed cell death 1/programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1)-based immune checkpoint blockade is an effective treatment approach for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, immunohistochemistry does not accurately or dynamically reflect PD-L1 expression owing to its spatiotemporal heterogeneity. Herein, we assessed the feasibility of using a Ga-labeled anti-PD-L1 nanobody, Ga-NODAGA-NM-01, for PET imaging of PD-L1.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent and debilitating condition characterized by cartilage destruction and inflammation. Traditional pharmacotherapies for OA are limited by their short-term efficacy and systemic side effects. Radiosynoviorthesis (RSO), involving intra-articular injection of radiopharmaceuticals, has shown promise for OA treatment but is hindered by the toxicity and rapid clearance of radioisotopes.

Targeting mutant p53: Evaluation of novel anti-p53 monoclonal antibodies as diagnostic tools.

Sci Rep

Department of Microbiology, Tumor and Cell Biology, Science for Life Laboratory, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden.

About 50% of all cancers carry a mutation in p53 that impairs its tumor suppressor function. The p53 missense mutation p53 (p53 in mice) is a hotspot mutation in various cancer types. Therefore, monoclonal antibodies selectively targeting clinically relevant mutations like p53 could prove immensely value.

The basic requirements for the development of radiopharmaceuticals for radionuclide therapy of tumors include marked tumor-specific accumulation and long-term intratumoral retention. We have previously reported an indium-111 (In)-labeled thermoresponsive polymer (polyoxazoline (POZ)) that is soluble at body temperature with rapid clearance from normal tissues but self-aggregates in the tumor upon tumor heating treatment. POZ accumulated in the tumor via self-aggregation under hyperthermic conditions and was retained after stopping heat exposure.

Background: Folate receptor alpha (FRα) overexpression is seen in many cancers. Radioligand therapy (RLT) has emerged as a promising tool to target FRα and has been investigated previously, but further progression was limited due to high kidney retention and, subsequently, toxicity. To circumvent this, we present here the development of a [I]I-GMIB-conjugated anti-human FRα (hFRα) single-domain antibody (sdAb), with intrinsically fast renal clearance and concomitant low kidney retention.
