Cc. Wu et al., METAL-CHELATE-DENDRIMER-ANTIBODY CONSTRUCTS FOR USE IN RADIOIMMUNOTHERAPY AND IMAGING, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 4(3), 1994, pp. 449-454
Polyamidoamine dendrimers were modified chemically by reaction with DO
TA and DTPA type bifunctional metal chelators and were coupled to mono
clonal antibody 2E4 without loss of protein immunoreactivity. Both the
DTPA- and DOTA-dendrimer-antibody constructs were easily labeled with
Y-90, In-111, Bi-212 or cold Gd(III) suggesting use of this dendrimer
-macrocycle for mAb guided radiotherapy or imaging.
