High Contrast PET Imaging of GRPR Expression in Prostate Cancer Using Cobalt-Labeled Bombesin Antagonist RM26

Figure 2

(a) In vitro specificity test of 57Co-NOTA-PEG2-RM26 binding to GRPR on PC-3 (human prostate cancer) cells. Presaturation of receptors with unlabeled NOTA-PEG2-RM26 caused significant () reduction of cell-bound 57Co-NOTA-PEG2-RM26 radioactivity. (b) Binding and internalization of 57Co-NOTA-PEG2-RM26 at 37°C by PC-3 cells. Data are normalized to a maximum cell-bound radioactivity and presented as average value from 3 cell dishes ± SD. Not all error bars are visible due to the small standard deviations.
