Abstract
With unlimited selectivity, full post-translational chemical control of biology would circumvent the dogma of genetic control. The resulting direct manipulation of organisms would enable atomic-level precision in "editing" of function. We argue that a key aspect that is still missing in our ability to do this (at least with a high degree of control) is the selectivity of a given chemical reaction in a living organism. In this Review, we systematize existing illustrative examples of chemical selectivity, as well as identify needed chemical selectivities set in a hierarchy of anatomical complexity: organismo- (selectivity for a given organism over another), tissuo- (selectivity for a given tissue type in a living organism), cellulo- (selectivity for a given cell type in an organism or tissue), and organelloselectivity (selectivity for a given organelle or discrete body within a cell). Finally, we analyze more traditional concepts such as regio-, chemo-, and stereoselective reactions where additionally appropriate. This survey of late-stage biomolecule methods emphasizes, where possible, functional consequences (i.e., biological function). In this way, we explore a concept of late-stage functionalization of living organisms (where "late" is taken to mean at a given state of an organism in time) in which programmed and selective chemical reactions take place in life. By building on precisely analyzed notions (e.g., mechanism and selectivity) we believe that the logic of chemical methodology might ultimately be applied to increasingly complex molecular constructs in biology. This could allow principles developed at the simple, small-molecule level to progress hierarchically even to manipulation of physiology.

Abstract
Tetrazine ligation has gained interest as a bio-orthogonal chemistry tool within the last decade. In nuclear medicine, tetrazine ligation is currently being explored for pretargeted approaches, which have the potential to revolutionize state-of-the-art theranostic strategies. Pretargeting has been shown to increase target-to-background ratios for radiopharmaceuticals based on nanomedicines, especially within early timeframes. This allows the use of radionuclides with short half-lives which are more suited for clinical applications. Pretargeting bears the potential to increase the therapeutic dose delivered to the target as well as reduce the respective dose to healthy tissue. Combined with the possibility to be applied for diagnostic imaging, pretargeting could be optimal for theranostic approaches. In this review, we highlight efforts that have been made to radiolabel tetrazines with an emphasis on imaging.

Abstract
Hematological malignancy like lymphoma originates in lymph tissues and has a propensity to spread across other organs. Managing such tumors is challenging as conventional strategies like surgery and local treatment are not plausible options and there are high chances of relapse. The advent of novel targeted therapies and antibody-mediated treatments has proven revolutionary in the management of these tumors. Although these therapies have an added advantage of specificity in comparison to the traditional chemotherapy approach, such treatment alternatives suffer from the occurrence of drug resistance and dose-related toxicities. In past decades, nanomedicine has emerged as an excellent surrogate to increase the bioavailability of therapeutic moieties along with a reduction in toxicities of highly cytotoxic drugs. Nanotherapeutics achieve targeted delivery of the therapeutic agents into the malignant cells and also have the ability to carry genes and therapeutic proteins to the desired sites. Furthermore, nanomedicine has an edge in rendering personalized medicine as one type of lymphoma is pathologically different from others. In this review, we have highlighted various applications of nanotechnology-based delivery systems based on lipidic, polymeric and inorganic nanomaterials that address different targets for effectively tackling lymphomas. Moreover, we have discussed recent advances and therapies available exclusively for managing this malignancy.

Abstract
![]()
The recent advances
in the production of engineered antibodies
have facilitated the development and application of tailored, target-specific
antibodies. Positron emission tomography (PET) of these antibody-based
drug candidates can help to better understand their in vivo behavior. In this study, we report an in vivo proof-of-concept
pretargeted immuno-PET study where we compare a pretargeting vs targeted
approach using a new 89Zr-labeled tetrazine as a bio-orthogonal
ligand in an inverse electron demand Diels–Alder (IEDDA) in vivo click reaction. A CD44v6-selective chimeric monoclonal
U36 was selected as the targeting antibody because it has potential
in immuno-PET imaging of head-and-neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).
Zirconium-89 (t1/2 = 78.41 h) was selected
as the radionuclide of choice to be able to make a head-to-head comparison
of the pretargeted and targeted approaches. [89Zr]Zr-DFO-PEG5-Tz ([89Zr]Zr-3) was synthesized and
used in pretargeted PET imaging of HNSCC xenografts (VU-SCC-OE) at
24 and 48 h after administration of a trans-cyclooctene
(TCO)-functionalized U36. The pretargeted approach resulted in lower
absolute tumor uptake than the targeted approach (1.5 ± 0.2 vs
17.1 ± 3.0% ID/g at 72 h p.i. U36) but with comparable tumor-to-non-target
tissue ratios and significantly lower absorbed doses. In conclusion,
anti-CD44v6 monoclonal antibody U36 was successfully used for 89Zr-immuno-PET imaging of HNSCC xenograft tumors using both
a targeted and pretargeted approach. The results not only support
the utility of the pretargeted approach in immuno-PET imaging but
also demonstrate the challenges in achieving optimal in vivo IEDDA reaction efficiencies in relation to antibody pharmacokinetics.

Abstract
Background Pretargeted immuno-PET tumor imaging has emerged as a valuable diagnostic strategy that combines the high specificity of antibody-antigen interaction with the high signal and image resolution offered by short-lived PET isotopes, while reducing the irradiation dose caused by traditional 89Zr-labelled antibodies. In this work, we demonstrate proof of concept of a novel ‘two-step’ immuno-PET pretargeting approach, based on bispecific antibodies (bsAbs) engineered to feature dual high-affinity binding activity for a fluorescein-based 18F-PET tracer and tumor markers. Results A copper(I)-catalysed click reaction-based radiolabeling protocol was developed for the synthesis of fluorescein-derived molecule [18F]TPF. Binding of [18F]TPF on FITC-bearing bsAbs was confirmed. An in vitro autoradiography assay demonstrated that [18F]TPF could be used for selective imaging of EpCAM-expressing OVCAR3 cells, when pretargeted with EpCAMxFITC bsAb. The versatility of the pretargeting approach was showcased in vitro using a series of fluorescein-binding bsAbs directed at various established cancer-associated targets, including the pan-carcinoma cell surface marker EpCAM, EGFR, melanoma marker MCSP (aka CSPG4), and immune checkpoint PD-L1, offering a range of potential future applications for this pretargeting platform. Conclusion A versatile pretargeting platform for PET imaging, which combines bispecific antibodies and a fluorescein-based 18F-tracer, is presented. It is shown to selectively target EpCAM-expressing cells in vitro and its further evaluation with different bispecific antibodies demonstrates the versatility of the approach.

Abstract
Bioorthogonal chemistry is a powerful tool to site-specifically activate drugs in living systems. Bioorthogonal reactions between a pair of biologically reactive groups can rapidly and specifically take place in a mild physiological milieu without perturbing inherent biochemical processes. Attributed to their high selectivity and efficiency, bioorthogonal reactions can significantly decrease background signals in bioimaging. Compared with metal-catalyzed bioorthogonal click reactions, metal-free click reactions are more biocompatible without the metal catalyst-induced cytotoxicity. Although a great number of bioorthogonal chemistry-based strategies have been reported for cancer theranostics, a comprehensive review is scarce to highlight the advantages of these strategies. In this review, recent progress in cancer theranostics guided by metal-free bioorthogonal click chemistry will be depicted in detail. The elaborate design as well as the advantages of bioorthogonal chemistry in tumor theranostics are summarized and future prospects in this emerging field are emphasized.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is an autoimmune disease caused by autoreactive T cells targeting the insulin-producing beta (β) cells. Despite advances in insulin therapy, T1DM still leads to high morbidity and mortality in patients. A key focus of T1DM research has been to identify strategies that re-establish self-tolerance and suppress ongoing autoimmunity. Here, we describe a strategy that utilizes pretargeting and glycochemistry to bioengineer β cells in situ to induce β-cell-specific tolerance. We hypothesized that β-cell-targeted Ac4ManNAz-encapsulated nanoparticles deliver and establish β cells with high levels of surface reactive azide groups. We further theorized that administration of a dibenzylcyclooctyne (DBCO)-functionalized programmed death-ligand 1 immunoglobulin fusion protein (PD-L1-Ig) can be readily conjugated to the surface of native β cells. Using nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice, we demonstrated that our strategy effectively and selectively conjugates PD-L1 onto β cells through bioorthogonal stain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition. We also showed that the in vivo functionalized β cells simultaneously present islet-specific antigen and PD-L1 to the engaged T cells, reversing early onset T1DM by reducing IFN-gamma expressing cytotoxic toxic T cells and inducing antigen-specific tolerance.

Abstract
Bacteria and their derivatives (membrane vesicles, MVs) exhibit great advantages for targeting hypoxic tumor cores, strong penetration ability and activating immune responses, holding great potential as auspicious candidates for therapeutic and drug-delivery applications. However, the safety issues and low therapeutic efficiency by single administration still need to be solved. To further optimize their performance and to utilize their natural abilities, scientists have strived to modify bacteria with new moieties on their surface while preserving their advantages. The aim of this review is to give a comprehensive overview of a non-genetic engineering modification strategy that can be used to optimize the bacteria with nanomaterials and the design strategy that can be used to optimize MVs for better targeted therapy. Here, the advantages and disadvantages of these processes and their applicability for the development of bacteria-related delivery system as antitumor therapeutic agents are discussed. The prospect and the challenges of the above targeted delivery system are also proposed.

Abstract
Immuno-positron emission tomography (immunoPET) imaging is a paradigm-shifting imaging technique for whole-body and all-lesion tumor detection, based on the combined specificity of tumor-targeting vectors [e.g., monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), nanobodies, and bispecific antibodies] and the sensitivity of PET imaging. By noninvasively, comprehensively, and serially revealing heterogeneous tumor antigen expression, immunoPET imaging is gradually improving the theranostic prospects for hematological malignancies. In this review, we summarize the available literature regarding immunoPET in imaging hematological malignancies. We also highlight the pros and cons of current conjugation strategies, and modular chemistry that can be leveraged to develop novel immunoPET probes for hematological malignancies. Lastly, we discuss the use of immunoPET imaging in guiding antibody drug development.

Abstract
Pretargeted imaging of nanomedicines have attracted considerable interest because it has the potential to increase imaging contrast while reducing radiation burden to healthy tissue. Currently, the tetrazine ligation is the fastest bioorthogonal reaction for this strategy and, consequently, the state-of-art choice for in vivo chemistry. We have recently identified key properties for tetrazines in pretargeting. We have also developed a method to 18F-label reactive tetrazines using an aliphatic nucleophilic substitution strategy. Here, we combined this knowledge and developed an 18F-labeled tetrazine for pretargeted imaging. In order to develop this ligand, a small SAR study was performed. The most promising compound was selected for labeling and subsequent positron-emission-tomography in vivo imaging. Radiolabeling was achieved in satisfactory yields, molar activities, and high radiochemical purities. [18F]15 displayed favorable pharmacokinetics and remarkable target-to-background ratios-as early as 1 h post injection. We believe that this agent could be a promising candidate for translation into clinical studies.

Abstract
Autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis are caused by immune system recognition of self-proteins and subsequent production of effector T cells that recognize and attack healthy tissue. Therapies for these diseases typically utilize broad immune suppression, which can be effective, but which also come with an elevated risk of susceptibility to infection and cancer. T cell recognition of antigens is driven by binding of T cell receptors to peptides displayed on major histocompatibility complex proteins (MHCs) on the cell surface of antigen-presenting cells. Technology for recombinant production of the extracellular domains of MHC proteins and loading with peptides to produce pMHCs has provided reagents for detection of T cell populations, and with the potential for therapeutic intervention. However, production of pMHCs in large quantities remains a challenge and a translational path needs to be established. Here, we demonstrate a fusion protein strategy enabling large-scale production of pMHCs. A peptide corresponding to amino acids 259-273 of collagen II was fused to the N-terminus of the MHC_II beta chain, and the alpha and beta chains were each fused to human IgG4 Fc domains and co-expressed. A tag was incorporated to enable site-specific conjugation. The cytotoxic drug payload, MMAF, was conjugated to the pMHC and potent, peptide-specific killing of T cells that recognize the collagen pMHC was demonstrated with tetramerized pMHC-MMAF conjugates. Finally, these pMHCs were incorporated into MMAF-loaded 3DNA nanomaterials in order to provide a biocompatible platform. Loading and pMHC density were optimized, and peptide-specific T cell killing was demonstrated. These experiments highlight the potential of a pMHC fusion protein-targeted, drug-loaded nanomaterial approach for selective delivery of therapeutics to disease-relevant T cells and new treatment options for autoimmune disease.

Abstract
There is no standard structural format of the biparatopic bispecific antibody (bbsAb) which is used against the target molecule because of the diversity of biophysical features of bispecific antibodies (bsAbs). It is therefore essential that the interaction between the antibody and antigen is quantitatively analyzed to design antibodies that possess the desired properties. Here, we generated bsAbs, namely, a tandem scFv-Fc, a diabody-Fc, and an immunofusion-scFv-Fc-scFv, that possessed four scFv arms at different positions and were capable of recognizing the extracellular domains of ROBO1. We examined the interactions between these bsAbs and ROBO1 at the biophysical and cellular levels. Of these, immunofusion-B2212A scFv-Fc-B5209B scFv was stably expressed with the highest relative yield. The kinetic and thermodynamic features of the interactions of each bsAb with soluble ROBO1 (sROBO1) were validated using surface plasmon resonance and isothermal titration calorimetry. In all bsAbs, the immunofusion-scFv-Fc-scFv format showed homogeneous interaction with the antigen with higher affinity compared with that of monospecific antibodies. In conclusion, our study presents constructive information to design druggable bbsAbs in drug applications.

Abstract
Pretargeted imaging can be used to visualize and quantify slow-accumulating targeting vectors with short-lived radionuclides such as fluorine-18 - the most popular clinically applied Positron Emission Tomography (PET) radionuclide. Pretargeting results in higher target-to-background ratios compared to conventional imaging approaches using long-lived radionuclides. Currently, the tetrazine ligation is the most popular bioorthogonal reaction for pretargeted imaging, but a direct 18F-labeling strategy for highly reactive tetrazines, which would be highly beneficial if not essential for clinical translation, has thus far not been reported. In this work, a simple, scalable and reliable direct 18F-labeling procedure has been developed. We initially studied the applicability of different leaving groups and labeling methods to develop this procedure. The copper-mediated 18F-labeling exploiting stannane precursors showed the most promising results. This approach was then successfully applied to a set of tetrazines, including highly reactive H-tetrazines, suitable for pretargeted PET imaging. The labeling succeeded in radiochemical yields (RCYs) of up to approx. 25%. The new procedure was then applied to develop a pretargeting tetrazine-based imaging agent. The tracer was synthesized in a satisfactory RCY of ca. 10%, with a molar activity of 134 ± 22 GBq μmol-1 and a radiochemical purity of >99%. Further evaluation showed that the tracer displayed favorable characteristics (target-to-background ratios and clearance) that may qualify it for future clinical translation.

Abstract
The field of nuclear imaging and therapy is rapidly progressing with the development of targeted radiopharmaceuticals that show rapid targeting and rapid clearance with minimal background. Unfortunately, they are often reabsorbed in the kidneys, leading to possible nephrotoxicity, limiting the therapeutic dose, and/or reducing imaging quality. The blocking of endocytic receptors has been extensively used as a strategy to reduce kidney radiation. Alternatively, the physicochemical properties of radiotracers can be modulated to either prevent their reuptake or promote the excretion of radiometabolites. Other interesting strategies focus on the insertion of a cleavable linker between the radiolabel and the targeting moiety or pretargeting approaches in which the targeting moiety and radiolabel are administered separately. In the context of this review, we will discuss the latest advances and insights on strategies used to reduce renal retention of low- to moderate-molecular-weight radiopharmaceuticals.

Abstract
Simple Summary In oncology, the hypothetical “perfect magic bullet” should have a specific target on tumor cells which allows one to target only the tumor, in the absence of uptake in normal and/or non-neoplastic cells. Theragnostics is a strategy that strictly combines diagnosis and therapy, which creates the conditions for an “a priori” definition of an effective therapeutic effect. The most complete theragnostic and “magic bullet” experiences in clinical practice are those associated with radioiodine and somatostatin model. In this paper, we analyze whether it could be possible to improve present clinical results, further extending the survival of a wider number of patients, expanding the recruitment criteria to other types of pathology, and improving the quality of life. The ultimate goal is to transform the theragnostic strategy based on the somatostatin model into a curative therapy in the highest possible number of patients. Abstract The first “theragnostic model”, that of radioiodine, was first applied both in diagnosis and therapy in the 1940s. Since then, many other theragnostic models have been introduced into clinical practice. To bring about the closest pharmacokinetic connection, the radiocompound used for diagnosis and therapy should be the same, although at present this is rarely applicable. Today, a widely applied and effective model is also the “DOTA-Ga-68/Lu-177”, used with success in neuroendocrine tumors (NET). In this paper, we analyze the necessary steps from the in vitro evaluation of a target to the choice of radionuclide and chelate for therapy up to in vivo transition and clinical application of most employed radiocompounds used for theragnostic purposes. Possible future applications and strategies of theragnostic models are also highlighted.

Abstract
Target-specific biomolecules, monoclonal antibodies (mAb), proteins, and protein fragments are known to have high specificity and affinity for receptors associated with tumors and other pathological conditions. However, the large biomolecules have relatively intermediate to long circulation half-lives (>day) and tumor localization times. Combining superior target specificity of mAbs and high sensitivity and resolution of the PET (Positron Emission Tomography) imaging technique has created a paradigm-shifting imaging modality, ImmunoPET. In addition to metallic PET radionuclides, 124I is an attractive radionuclide for radiolabeling of mAbs as potential immunoPET imaging pharmaceuticals due to its physical properties (decay characteristics and half-life), easy and routine production by cyclotrons, and well-established methodologies for radioiodination. The objective of this report is to provide a comprehensive review of the physical properties of iodine and iodine radionuclides, production processes of 124I, various 124I-labeling methodologies for large biomolecules, mAbs, and the development of 124I-labeled immunoPET imaging pharmaceuticals for various cancer targets in preclinical and clinical environments. A summary of several production processes, including 123Te(d,n)124I, 124Te(d,2n)124I, 121Sb(α,n)124I, 123Sb(α,3n)124I, 123Sb(3He,2n)124I, natSb(α, xn)124I, natSb(3He,n)124I reactions, a detailed overview of the 124Te(p,n)124I reaction (including target selection, preparation, processing, and recovery of 124I), and a fully automated process that can be scaled up for GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) production of large quantities of 124I is provided. Direct, using inorganic and organic oxidizing agents and enzyme catalysis, and indirect, using prosthetic groups, 124I-labeling techniques have been discussed. Significant research has been conducted, in more than the last two decades, in the development of 124I-labeled immunoPET imaging pharmaceuticals for target-specific cancer detection. Details of preclinical and clinical evaluations of the potential 124I-labeled immunoPET imaging pharmaceuticals are described here.

Abstract
Radiotherapy and immunotherapy are two key treatments for cancer. There is growing evidence that they are also synergistic, and combination treatments are being studied extensively in the clinical setting. In addition, there is emerging evidence that nanotechnology-enabled therapeutics can potentiate both radiotherapy and immunotherapy, in turn improving both treatments. This is an exciting new area of interdisciplinary science and has significant potential for major clinical impact. Some of the approaches in this area have already reached the clinical stage. In this review, we will discuss recent advances in the interface between radiotherapy, immunotherapy, and nanomedicine. We plan to review the many approaches to combine these three fields for cancer treatment.

of peptide size. It contains very small structures containing several
amino acids and whole antibodies. Moreover, radiolabeled peptides
are diverse in terms of the binding aim and therapeutic or diagnostic
applications. The majority of this class of radiotracers is utilized
in oncology, where the same structure can be used in therapy and diagnostic
imaging by varying the radionuclide. In this study, we collected new
reports of radiolabeled peptide applications in diagnosis and therapy
in oncology and other fields of medicine. Radiolabeled peptides are
also increasingly being used in rheumatology, cardiac imaging, or
neurology. The studies collected in this review concern new therapeutic
and diagnostic procedures in humans and new structures tested on animals.
We also performed an analysis of clinical trials, which concerns application
of radiolabeled peptides and antibodies that were reported in the
clinicaltrials.gov database between 2008 and 2018.

Abstract
Antibodies represent a well-established class of clinical diagnostics for medical applications as well as essential research and biotechnological tools. Although both polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies are indispensable reagents in basic research and diagnostics but both of them have their limitations. Hence, there is urgent need to develop strategies aimed at production of alternative scaffolds and recombinant antibodies of smaller dimensions that could be easily produced, selected and manipulated. Unlike conventional antibodies, members of Camelidae and sharks produce antibodies composed only of heavy chains with small size, high solubility, thermal stability, refolding capacity and good tissue penetration in vivo. The discovery of these naturally occurring antibodies having only heavy-chain in Camelidae family and their further development into small recombinant nanobodies represents an attractive alternative in drug delivery, diagnostics and imaging. Nanobody derivatives are soluble, stable, versatile, have unique refolding capacities, reduced aggregation tendencies and high-target binding capabilities. They can be genetically customized to target enzymes, transmembrane proteins or molecular interactions. Their ability to recognize recessed antigenic sites has been attributed to their smaller size and the ability of the extended CDR3 loop to quickly penetrate into such epitopes. With the advent of molecular engineering and phage display technology, they can be of potential use in molecular imaging, drug delivery and therapeutics for several major diseases. In this review we present the recent advances in nanobodies for modulating immune functions, for targeting cancers, viruses, toxins and microbes as well as their utility as diagnostic and biosensor tools.

Abstract
Pretargeted radioimmunotherapy (PRIT) has been investigated as a multi-step approach to decrease relapse and toxicity for high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Relevant factors including endogenous biotin and immunogenicity, however, have limited the use of PRIT with an anti-CD45 antibody streptavidin conjugate and radiolabeled DOTA-biotin. To overcome these limitations we designed anti-murine and anti-human CD45 bispecific antibody constructs using 30F11 and BC8 antibodies, respectively, combined with an anti-yttrium (Y)-DOTA single-chain variable fragment (C825) to capture a radiolabeled ligand. The bispecific construct targeting human CD45 (BC8-Fc-C825) had high uptake in leukemia HEL xenografts [7.8 ± 0.02% percent injected dose/gram of tissue (% ID/g)]. Therapy studies showed that 70% of mice with HEL human xenografts treated with BC8-Fc-C825 followed by 44.4 MBq (1,200 μCi) of 90Y-DOTA-biotin survived at least 170 days after therapy, while all nontreated controls required euthanasia because of tumor progression by day 32. High uptake at sites of leukemia (spleen and bone marrow) was also seen with 30F11-IgG1-C825 in a syngeneic disseminated SJL murine leukemia model (spleen, 9.0 ± 1.5% ID/g and bone marrow, 8.1 ± 1.2% ID/g), with minimal uptake in all other normal organs (<0.5% ID/g) at 24 hours after 90Y-DOTA injections. SJL leukemia mice treated with the bispecific 30F11-IgG1-C825 and 29.6 MBq (800 μCi) of 90Y-DOTA-biotin had a survival advantage compared with untreated leukemic mice (median, 43 vs. 30 days, respectively; P < 0.0001). These data suggest bispecific antibody-mediated PRIT may be highly effective for leukemia therapy and translation to human studies.

Abstract
PURPOSE Radioimmunotherapy uses tumor-specific antibodies to deliver therapeutic radionuclides, but hematological toxicity due to the long serum half-life of intact antibodies remains a challenge. We evaluated a smaller antibody fragment, the minibody, with faster kinetics and a potentially improved therapeutic index. PROCEDURES The anti-prostate stem cell antigen (PSCA) minibody (A11 Mb) was radiolabeled with iodine-124 ([124I]I-A11 Mb) or conjugated with deferoxamine (DFO) and labeled with zirconium-89 ([89Zr]Zr-DFO-A11 Mb) for surrogate immunoPET to profile pharmacokinetics in a human prostate cancer xenograft model. Subsequently, minibodies labeled with two therapeutic beta emitters, directly iodinated [131I]I-A11 Mb (non-residualizing) and 177Lu chelated using DTPA ([177Lu]Lu-DTPA-A11 Mb) (residualizing), were compared for in vitro antigen-specific cytotoxicity. Full biodistribution studies (in 22Rv1-PSCA tumor bearing and hPSCA knock-in mice) were conducted for dosimetry calculations. Finally, the lead candidate [131I]I-A11 Mb was evaluated in a radioimmunotherapy experiment. Escalating single doses (3.7, 11, or 37 MBq) and saline control were administered to 22Rv1-PSCA tumor bearing mice and anti-tumor effects (tumor volume) and toxicity (body weight) were monitored. RESULTS Minibodies radiolabeled with therapeutic beta emitters [131I]I-A11 Mb and [177Lu]Lu-DTPA-A11 Mb exhibited comparable tumor cell growth inhibition in vitro. In vivo surrogate immunoPET imaging using [89Zr]Zr-DFO-A11 Mb showed activity retention in liver and kidney up to 72 h, while [124I]I-A11 Mb cleared from liver, kidney, and blood by 48 h. Based on full biodistribution and dosimetry calculations, administering 37 MBq [131I]I-A11 Mb was predicted to deliver a favorable dose to the tumor (35 Gy), with a therapeutic index of 22 (tumor:bone marrow). For [177Lu]Lu-DTPA-A11 Mb, the kidneys would be dose-limiting, and the maximum tolerated activity (7.4 MBq) was not predicted to deliver an effective radiation dose to tumor. Radioimmunotherapy with a single dose of [131I]I-A11 Mb showed dose-dependent tumor inhibition with minimal off-target toxicity and improved median survival (19 and 24 days, P < 0.001) compared with untreated mice (12 days). CONCLUSIONS These findings show the potential of the anti-PSCA minibody for targeted radioimmunotherapy with minimal toxicity, and the application of immunoPET and dosimetry for personalized treatment.

Abstract
Immuno-positron emission tomography (immunoPET) is a paradigm-shifting molecular imaging modality combining the superior targeting specificity of monoclonal antibody (mAb) and the inherent sensitivity of PET technique. A variety of radionuclides and mAbs have been exploited to develop immunoPET probes, which has been driven by the development and optimization of radiochemistry and conjugation strategies. In addition, tumor-targeting vectors with a short circulation time (e.g., Nanobody) or with an enhanced binding affinity (e.g., bispecific antibody) are being used to design novel immunoPET probes. Accordingly, several immunoPET probes, such as 89Zr-Df-pertuzumab and 89Zr-atezolizumab, have been successfully translated for clinical use. By noninvasively and dynamically revealing the expression of heterogeneous tumor antigens, immunoPET imaging is gradually changing the theranostic landscape of several types of malignancies. ImmunoPET is the method of choice for imaging specific tumor markers, immune cells, immune checkpoints, and inflammatory processes. Furthermore, the integration of immunoPET imaging in antibody drug development is of substantial significance because it provides pivotal information regarding antibody targeting abilities and distribution profiles. Herein, we present the latest immunoPET imaging strategies and their preclinical and clinical applications. We also emphasize current conjugation strategies that can be leveraged to develop next-generation immunoPET probes. Lastly, we discuss practical considerations to tune the development and translation of immunoPET imaging strategies.

Abstract
For optimum radioimmunotherapy (RIT), deep penetration and uniform distribution into the tumor core is important. The solid tumor microenvironment, consisting of a highly fibrotic or desmoplastic tumor, abnormal tumor vasculature, high fluid pressure, and the absence of fluid lymphatics, limits the distribution of monoclonal antibodies mAbs to the tumor core. To investigate the optimal rationale for therapeutic mAbs administration and the microdistribution of mAbs, single and serial fractional dosage regimens of Cu-64-trastuzumab (TRZ) with paclitaxel were evaluated. Groups of nude mice were inoculated with gastric cancer cell line NCI-N87 tumor cells. When the tumor size reached 200 ± 20 mm3, the mice were divided into two groups for injection of Alexa-647-TRZ. One group (n = 5) was injected with 15 mg/kg in a single dose (SD), and the other group (n = 5) with two doses of 7.5 mg/kg (fractionated dose (FD)). In both cases, the injections were done intravenously in combination with intraperitoneal paclitaxel either as a SD of 70 mg/kg or fractionated into two doses of 40 and 30 mg/kg. Tumors were harvested, flash frozen, and sectioned (8 µm) five days after Alexa-647-TRZ injection. Rhodamine lectin (rhodamine-labeled Ricinus communis agglutinin I, 1 mg in 0.2 mL of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS)) was intravenously injected to delineate the functional vessel for a wait time of 5 min before animal euthanization. Microscopic images were acquired with an IN Cell Analyzer. The amount of TRZ that penetrated the tumor surface and the tumor vessel was calculated by area under the curve (AUC) analysis. For RIT efficacy (n = 21), Cu-64-TRZ was injected following the same dose schedule to observe tumor volume and survival ratio for 30 days. The SD and FD regimens of Alexa-647-TRZ were observed to have no significant difference in penetration of mAbs from the tumor edge and vessel, nor was the total accumulation across the whole tumor tissue significantly different. Additionally, the SD and FD regimens of Cu-64-TRZ were not proven to be significantly efficacious. Our study reveals that SD and FD in a treatment design with Cu-64-TRZ and paclitaxel shows no significant difference in therapeutic efficacy on tumor growth inhibition in vivo in mice bearing human gastric cancer xenografts overexpressing HER2 antigen.

Abstract
The selective induction of tumor vascular thrombosis using truncated tissue factor (tTF) delivered via a target ligand is a promising novel antitumor strategy. In the present study, an anti-neuropilin-1 (NRP-1) monoclonal antibody (mAb)-streptavidin (SA):tTF-biotin (B) composite system was established. In this system, anti-NRP-1-mAb located tTF to the tumor vascular endothelial cell surface and induced vascular embolization. Due to their high binding affinity, SA and B were used to enhance thrombogenic activity. mAb was conjugated with SA using a coupling method with water-soluble 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide and N-hydroxysulfosuccinimide. Biotinylated tTF (tTF-B) was prepared using a B-labeling kit subsequent to the generation and purification of fusion protein tTF. Confocal microscopy and flow cytometry indicated that the anti-NRP-1-mAb-SA conjugate retained mAb targeting activity. The preservation of B-conjugate binding capacity was confirmed using a competitive ELISA, and factor X-activation analysis revealed that tTF-B retained the procoagulant activity exhibited by tTF. Live imaging was performed to assess mAb-SA distribution and tumor-targeting capability, and this yielded promising results. The results of in vivo studies in mice with subcutaneous xenografts demonstrated that this composite system significantly induced tumor vascular thrombosis and inhibited tumor growth, whereas these histological changes were not observed in normal organs.

Abstract
Knob-in-hole antibodies can be utilized to introduce a single tag for chemo-enzymatic functionalization. By either introducing a single C-terminal sortase tag (sortase-tag expressed protein ligation) or tyrosine tag (G4Y), mono-functionalization of the monoclonal antibody trastuzumab was achieved rapidly and in high yields. This method was applied to selectively and efficiently introduce a single fluorescent tag, cytokine or single-chain variable fragment, as well as produce clean homo dimers of trastuzumab.

Abstract
Cancer‐specific antigens expressed in the cell membrane have been used as targets for several molecular targeted strategies in the last 20 years with remarkable success. To develop more effective cancer treatments, novel targets and strategies for targeted therapies are needed. Here, we examined the cancer cell membrane‐resident “cis‐bimolecular complex” as a possible cancer target (cis‐bimolecular cancer target: BiCAT) using proximity proteomics, a technique that has attracted attention in the last 10 years. BiCAT were detected using a previously developed method termed the enzyme‐mediated activation of radical source (EMARS), to label the components proximal to a given cell membrane molecule. EMARS analysis identified some BiCAT, such as close homolog of L1 (CHL1), fibroblast growth factor 3 (FGFR3) and α2 integrin, which are commonly expressed in mouse primary lung cancer cells and human lung squamous cell carcinoma cells. Analysis of cancer specimens from 55 lung cancer patients revealed that CHL1 and α2 integrin were highly co–expressed in almost all cancer tissues compared with normal lung tissues. As an example of BiCAT application, in vitro simulation of effective drug combinations used for multiple drug treatment strategies was performed using reagents targeted to BiCAT molecules. The combination treatment based on BiCAT information moderately suppressed cancer cell proliferation compared with single administration, suggesting that the information about BiCAT in cancer cells is useful for the appropriate selection of the combination among molecular targeted reagents. Thus, BiCAT has the potential to contribute to several molecular targeted strategies in future.

Abstract
Fluorescence guided surgery represents a considerable advance for oncology surgeons. SGM-101 is an innovative antibody-dye conjugate targeting carcinoembryonic antigen on digestive tumors. Pre-clinical toxicology, pharmacology and pharmacokinetic results are in favor of clinical use of SGM-101.
The real-time improvement of the intraoperative discrimination between different tissue types (particularly between tumor and adjacent normal tissue) using intraoperative imaging represents a considerable advance for oncology surgeons. However, the development of imaging agents is much slower than that of drug therapies, although surgery represents one of the few curative treatments for many solid tumors. SGM-101 is a recently described, innovative antibody conjugate in which the near-infrared fluorochrome BM-104 is covalently linked to a chimeric monoclonal antibody against carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). SGM-101 was developed with the goal of providing oncology surgeons with an intraoperative imaging tool that allows the visualization of CEA-overexpressing tumors. This antigen is overexpressed in a wide range of human carcinomas, such as colorectal, gastric, pancreatic, non-small cell lung and breast carcinomas. Here we characterized SGM-101 safety prior to its clinical testing for real-time cancer mapping by oncology surgeons. Safety pharmacology and toxicology studies were performed after intravenous injection of SGM-101 in Wistar rats and in Beagle dogs. SGM-101 metabolism and pharmacokinetics were analyzed in rats and mice. Finally, the potential toxicity of the BM-104 dye and SGM-101 cross-reactivity were assessed in a panel of 42 human tissues. Our pre-clinical toxicology, pharmacology and pharmacokinetic results demonstrated the absence of significant adverse effects of both SGM-101 and BM-104 at doses well above the anticipated maximal human exposure. Taken together, the results of the pharmacology, pharmacokinetic and toxicology studies support the development of SGM-101 as a potentially useful and safe tumor-specific imaging tool that might improve the complete tumor resection rate.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are an important class of therapeutic agents approved for the therapy of many types of malignancies. However, in certain cases applications of conventional mAbs have several limitations in anticancer immunotherapy. These limitations include insufficient efficacy and adverse effects. The antigen-binding fragments of antibodies have a considerable potential to overcome the disadvantages of conventional mAbs, such as poor penetration into solid tumors and Fc-mediated bystander activation of the immune system. Fragments of antibodies retain antigen specificity and part of functional properties of conventional mAbs and at the same time have much better penetration into the tumors and a greatly reduced level of adverse effects. Recent advantages in antibody engineering allowed to produce different types of antibody fragments with improved structure and properties for efficient elimination of tumor cells. These molecules opened up new perspectives for anticancer therapy. Here, we will overview the structural features of the various types of antibody fragments and their applications for anticancer therapy as separate molecules and as part of complex conjugates or structures. Mechanisms of antitumor action of antibody fragments as well as their advantages and disadvantages for clinical application will be discussed in this review.

Abstract
Pretargeting is often used as a tumor targeting strategy that provides much higher tumor to non-tumor ratios than direct-targeting using radiolabeled antibody. Due to the multiple injections, pretargeting is investigated less than direct targeting, but the high T/NT ratios have rendered it more useful for therapy. While the progress in using this strategy for tumor therapy has been regularly reviewed in the literature, this review focuses on the nature and quantitative understanding of the pretargeting concept. By doing so, it is the goal of this review to accelerate pretargeting development and translation to the clinic and to prepare the researchers who are not familiar with the pretargeting concept but are interested in applying it. The quantitative understanding is presented in a way understandable to the average researchers in the areas of drug development and clinical translation who have the basic concept of calculus and general chemistry.

Abstract
The use of radiolabelled antibodies and antibody-derived recombinant constructs has shown promise for both imaging and therapeutic use. In this context, the biotin-avidin/streptavidin pairing, along with the inverse-electron-demand Diels-Alder (iEDDA) reaction, have found application in pretargeting approaches for positron emission tomography (PET). This study reports the fluorinase-mediated transhalogenation [5'-chloro-5'-deoxyadenosine (ClDA) substrates to 5'-fluoro-5'-deoxyadenosine (FDA) products] of two antibody pretargeting tools, a FDA-PEG-tetrazine and a [18 F]FDA-PEG-biotin, and each is assessed either for its compatibility towards iEDDA ligation to trans-cyclooctene or for its affinity to avidin. A protocol to avoid radiolytically promoted oxidation of biotin during the synthesis of [18 F]FDA-PEG-biotin was developed. The study adds to the repertoire of conjugates for use in fluorinase-catalysed radiosynthesis for PET and shows that the fluorinase will accept a wide range of ClDA substrates tethered at C-2 of the adenine ring with a PEGylated cargo. The method is exceptional because the nucleophilic reaction with [18 F]fluoride takes place in water at neutral pH and at ambient temperature.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to compare the performances pretargeted immunoPET 68Ga-PETimaging (68Ga-pPET) with anti carcino-embryonic antigen (CEA) and anti-histamine-succinyl-glycine (HSG) recombinant humanized bispecific monoclonal antibody (TF2) and 68Ga-labeled HSG peptide (IMP288) to conventional 18FDG-PET in an orthotopic murine model of liver metastases of human colonic cancer. METHODS Hepatic tumor burden following intra-portal injection of luciferase-transfected LS174T cells in nude mice was confirmed using bioluminescence. One group of animals was injected intravenously with TF2 and with 68Ga-IMP288 24 hours later (n=8). Another group received 18FDG (n=8), and a third had both imaging modalities (n=7). PET acquisitions started 1 hour after injection of the radioconjugate. Biodistributions in tumors and normal tissues were assessed one hour after imaging. RESULTS Tumor/organ ratios were significantly higher with 68Ga-pPET compared to 18FDG-PET (P<0.05) with both imaging and biodistribution data. 68Ga-pPET sensitivity for tumor detection was 67% vs. 31% with 18FDG PET (P=0.049). For tumors less than 200 mg, the sensitivity was 44% with 68Ga-pPET vs. 0% for 18FDG PET (P=0.031). A strong correlation was demonstrated between tumor uptakes measured on PET images and biodistribution analyses (r2=0.85). CONCLUSION 68Ga-pPET was more sensitive than 18FDG-PET for the detection of human colonic liver metastases in an orthotopic murine xenograft model. Improved tumor/organ ratios support the use of pretargeting method for imaging and therapy of CEA-expressing tumors.

Abstract
The overexpression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in varying types of solid tumor renders radioimmunotherapy (RIT) with the anti-VEGF antibody bevacizumab (BV) a promising treatment. However, the slow blood clearance of BV, which may increase the occurrence risk of hematotoxicity, hinders the application of BV-RIT. Using the avidin chase is a long-known blood clearance enhancement strategy for biotinylated-mAb. To enhance RIT efficacy by increasing the radioactivity dose, we evaluated the ability of avidin to accelerate the blood clearance of yttrium-90 (90Y)-labeled biotinylated BV (90Y-Bt-BV) in a xenograft mouse model of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). The biodistribution study in the TNBC xenograft mice confirmed the high and specific tumor accumulation of the indium-111 (111In)-BV. The blood clearance enhancement effect of the avidin chase was demonstrated in the normal mouse studies with 111In-Bt-BV. In the subsequent biodistribution studies with the tumor-bearing mice, an optimized dose of avidin injection subsequent to 111In-Bt-BV with an appropriate biotin valency successfully accelerated the blood clearance of 111In-Bt-BV without impairing its tumor accumulation level. The avidin chase enabled an increase in the maximum tolerated dose of 90Y-Bt-BV to twice as much as that of 90Y-BV in tumor-bearing mice and thereby significantly improved the therapeutic effect of 90Y-Bt-BV compared to 90Y-BV ( p < 0.05). These results underscored the potential usefulness of 90Y-bevacizumab-RIT with the avidin chase for the treatment of VEGF-positive tumors.

Abstract
The clinical applications of positron emission tomography (PET) imaging pharmaceuticals have increased tremendously over the past several years since the approval of 18fluorine-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Numerous 18F-labeled target-specific potential imaging pharmaceuticals, based on small and large molecules, have been evaluated in preclinical and clinical settings. 18F-labeling of organic moieties involves the introduction of the radioisotope by C-18F bond formation via a nucleophilic or an electrophilic substitution reaction. However, biomolecules, such as peptides, proteins, and oligonucleotides, cannot be radiolabeled via a C-18F bond formation as these reactions involve harsh conditions, including organic solvents, high temperature, and nonphysiological conditions. Several approaches, including 18F-labeled prosthetic groups, silicon, boron, and aluminum fluoride acceptor chemistry, and click chemistry have been developed, in the past, for 18F labeling of biomolecules. Linear and macrocyclic polyaminocarboxylates and their analogs and derivatives form thermodynamically stable and kinetically inert aluminum chelates. Hence, macrocyclic polyaminocarboxylates have been used for conjugation with biomolecules, such as folate, peptides, affibodies, and protein fragments, followed by 18F-AlF chelation, and evaluation of their targeting abilities in preclinical and clinical environments. The goal of this report is to provide an overview of the 18F radiochemistry and 18F-labeling methodologies for small molecules and target-specific biomolecules, a comprehensive review of coordination chemistry of Al3+, 18F-AlF labeling of peptide and protein conjugates, and evaluation of 18F-labeled biomolecule conjugates as potential imaging pharmaceuticals.

Abstract
In pretargeted radio-immunotherapy, the gradual administration of a non-radioactive tumor antigen-addressing antibody-construct and the subsequent application of a radioactive labeled, low molecular weight substance enable a highly effective and selective targeting of tumor tissue. We evaluated this concept in prostate stem cell antigen (PSCA)-positive cancers using the antigen-specific, biotinylated single chain antibody scFv(AM1)-P-BAP conjugated with tetrameric neutravidin. To visualize the systemic biodistribution, a radiolabeled biotin was injected to interact with scFv(AM1)-P-BAP/neutravidin conjugate. Biotin derivatives conjugated with different chelators for complexation of radioactive metal ions and a polyethylene glycol linker (n = 45) were successfully synthesized and evaluated in vitro and in a mouse xenograft model. In vivo, the scFv(AM1)-P-BAP showed highly PSCA-specific tumor retention with a PSCA+ tumor/PSCA- tumor accumulation ratio of ten. PEGylation of radiolabeled biotin resulted in lower liver uptake improving the tumor to background ratio.

Abstract
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is one of the most common types of hematologic malignancies. Pretargeted radioimmunotherapy (PRIT), the sequential administration of a bispecific antibody-based primary tumor-targeting component followed by a radionucleotide-labeled treatment effector, has been developed to improve the treatment efficacy and to reduce the side effects of conventional RIT. Despite the preclinical success of PRIT, clinical trials revealed that the immunogenicity of the bispecific antibody as well as the presence of competing endogenous effector molecules often compromised the treatment. One strategy to improve PRIT is to utilize bio-orthogonal ligation reactions to minimize immunogenicity and improve targeting. Herein, we report a translatable pretargeted nanoradioimmunotherapy strategy for the treatment of NHL. This pretargeting system is composed of a dibenzylcyclooctyne (DBCO)-functionalized anti-CD20 antibody (α-CD20) tumor-targeting component and an azide- and yttrium-90-(90Y) dual-functionalized dendrimer. The physicochemical properties of both pretargeting components have been extensively studied. We demonstrated that an optimized dual-functionalized dendrimer can undergo rapid strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition with the DBCO-functionalized α-CD20 at the physiological conditions. The treatment effector in our pretargeting system can not only selectively deliver radionucleotides to the target tumor cells but also increase the complement-dependent cytotoxicity of α-CD20 and thus enhance the antitumor effects, as justified by comprehensive in vitro and in vivo studies in mouse NHL xenograft and disseminated models.

Abstract
Tumour pretargeting is a promising strategy for cancer diagnosis and therapy allowing for the rational use of long circulating, highly specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for both non-invasive cancer radioimmunodetection (RID) and radioimmunotherapy (RIT). In contrast to conventional RID/RIT where the radionuclides and oncotropic vector molecules are delivered as presynthesised radioimmunoconjugates, the pretargeting approach is a multistep procedure that temporarily separates targeting of certain tumour-associated antigens from delivery of diagnostic or therapeutic radionuclides. In principle, unlabelled, highly tumour antigen specific mAb conjugates are, in a first step, administered into a patient. After injection, sufficient time is allowed for blood circulation, accumulation at the tumour site and subsequent elimination of excess mAb conjugates from the body. The small fast-clearing radiolabelled effector molecules with a complementary functionality directed to the prelocalised mAb conjugates are then administered in a second step. Due to its fast pharmacokinetics, the small effector molecules reach the malignant tissue quickly and bind the local mAb conjugates. Thereby, corresponding radioimmunoconjugates are formed in vivo and, consequently, radiation doses are deposited mainly locally. This procedure results in a much higher tumour/non-tumour (T/NT) ratio and is favourable for cancer diagnosis and therapy as it substantially minimises the radiation damage to non-tumour cells of healthy tissues. The pretargeting approach utilises specific non-covalent interactions (e.g. strept(avidin)/biotin) or covalent bond formations (e.g. inverse electron demand Diels-Alder reaction) between the tumour bound antibody and radiolabelled small molecules. This tutorial review descriptively presents this complex strategy, addresses the historical as well as recent preclinical and clinical advances and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of different available variations.

Abstract
During the last decade, the utilization of 68Ga for the development of imaging agents has increased considerably with the leading position in the oncology. The imaging of infection and inflammation is lagging despite strong unmet medical needs. This review presents the potential routes for the development of 68Ga-based agents for the imaging and quantification of infection and inflammation in various diseases and connection of the diagnosis to the treatment for the individualized patient management.

Abstract
Pretargeted radioimmunotherapy (PRIT) has demonstrated remarkable efficacy targeting tumor antigens, but immunogenicity and endogenous biotin blocking may limit clinical translation. We describe a new PRIT approach for the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM) and other B-cell malignancies, for which we developed an anti-CD38-bispecific fusion protein that eliminates endogenous biotin interference and immunogenic elements. In murine xenograft models of MM and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), the CD38-bispecific construct demonstrated excellent blood clearance and tumor targeting. Dosimetry calculations showed a tumor-absorbed dose of 43.8 Gy per millicurie injected dose of 90Y, with tumor-to-normal organ dose ratios of 7:1 for liver and 15:1 for lung and kidney. In therapy studies, CD38-bispecific PRIT resulted in 100% complete remissions by day 12 in MM and NHL xenograft models, ultimately curing 80% of mice at optimal doses. In direct comparisons, efficacy of the CD38 bispecific proved equal or superior to streptavidin (SA)-biotin-based CD38-SA PRIT. Each approach cured at least 75% of mice at the highest radiation dose tested (1200 µCi), whereas at 600- and 1000-µCi doses, the bispecific outperformed the SA approach, curing 35% more mice overall (P < .004). The high efficacy of bispecific PRIT, combined with its reduced risk of immunogenicity and endogenous biotin interference, make the CD38 bispecific an attractive candidate for clinical translation. Critically, CD38 PRIT may benefit patients with unresponsive, high-risk disease because refractory disease typically retains radiation sensitivity. We posit that PRIT might not only prolong survival, but possibly cure MM and treatment-refractory NHL patients.

Abstract
The progress in melanoma immunotherapy highlights the importance of immunotherapy for cancer treatment. Although the concept of immunotherapy emerged in the beginning of the twentieth century, the end of the century signaled the start of modern immunotherapy, which has recently allowed a staggering progress in the field of cancer immunotherapy. Currently, there is a wide variety of immunotherapeutic approaches and critical improvements are continually being made. Among different immunotherapeutic strategies, therapies based on the blockade of immune checkpoint molecules have shown unparalleled efficacy in late-stage cancer patients. Pre-clinical research using ex vivo and in vivo approaches demonstrates the promise of numerous novel strategies for the immunotherapy of cancer.
