Identification of a New Peptide for Fibrosarcoma Tumor Targeting and Imaging In Vivo

Figure 2

Biodistribution of TK4-displaying phage in vivo. (a) TK4-displaying or CP1 control phage (1012) was dissolved in PBS (200 μl) and IV injected into the tumor-bearing mice. The titers of phage (pfu/g of tissue) recovered from tumor and other tissues were averaged from duplications of 3 mice. Error bar represents the Standard Error of Mean (SEM). 𝑃 -values were calculated by Student’s 𝑡 -Test with two-tails (*, 𝑃 < . 0 5 ). (b) TK4-displaying phages were injected into mice in the presence of different amount (0 to 500 μg) of the competitive synthetic TK4 peptide. The phages were eluted form tumor and liver homogenates and titered as pfu.
