| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we tried to develop a novel labeling method for affibody molecular that possess high binding affinity to targets and fast pharmacokinetics by F-18 labeled amino acid and a cell-free protein synthesis system. 18F-O-2-fluoroethyl tyrosine (FET) was successfully incorporated into proteins by using commercially available cell-free protein synthesis reagents with an engineered aminoacyl transferase/ tRNACUAopt pair and template DNA of the desired proteins inserted with an amber codon. 18F-labeled affibody for human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 (HER2) demonstrated that high binding to SKOV-3 expressing HER2 with high level. In vivo PET imaging in SKOV-3 xenograft-bearing mice showed that high tracer accumulation in the SKOV-3 xenografts. In conclusion, this method might be useful for preparation of proteins with F-18 and molecular imaging in preclinical development.
