Immuno-PET

PET scans built from radiolabelled antibodies or their fragments, to see any protein an antibody can reach, including immune cells inside tumours.

Covers 89Zr-antibody imaging of ADC targets and T-cell imaging with 89Zr-crefmirlimab berdoxam (CD8 minibody) and 18F-AraG (activated T cells). CD8 PET is in phase 2/3 as a pharmacodynamic and predictive biomarker for checkpoint inhibitors.

How it works

Long-lived positron emitters (89Zr, 64Cu) chelated to antibodies, minibodies, or nanobodies.

Strengths
  • Images target and immune infiltrate non-invasively
  • Any antibody can be turned into a tracer
Limitations
  • Slow kinetics for full antibodies
  • Cost of 89Zr
