TY - JOUR AU - Cornelissen, Bart AB - 111 89 Purpose The efficacy of most anticancer treatments, includ- vious results using In-anti-γH2AX-TAT. Retention of Zr- ing radiotherapy, depends on an ability to cause DNA double- anti-γH2AX-TAT was eightfold higher at 1 h post irradiation, strand breaks (DSBs). Very early during the DNA damage in cells expressing γH2AX, compared to non-irradiated cells signalling process, the histone isoform H2AX is phosphory- or to non-specific IgG control. PET imaging of mice showed lated to form γH2AX. With the aim of positron emission higher uptake of Zr-anti-γH2AX-TAT in irradiated xeno- tomography (PET) imaging of DSBs, we synthesized a Zr- grafts, compared to non-irradiated or non-specific controls labelled anti-γH2AX antibody, modified with the cell- (12.1±1.6 vs 5.2±1.9 and 5.1±0.8 %ID/g, respectively; penetrating peptide, TAT, which includes a nuclear localiza- p<0.0001).
