摘要

Fab fragments obtained via enzymatic digestion of full-length antibodies or by gene recombination technology have smaller molecular weight and greater penetration ability. Those advantages make it uniquely suited to deliver radionuclides. In this study, we prepared a Fab fragment from the anti-EGFR antibody Cetuximab and labeled it with 177Lu. The binding activity in vitro and biodistribution in vivo of [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-Fab-Cetuximab were investigated. The [177Lu]Lu-labeled Fab fragment showed improved tumor penetration and faster blood clearance compared to the full-length antibody.
