Radiolabeling of the SGC8 aptamer and targeting functionality investigation. (A) Schematic illustration of SGC8 aptamer radiolabeling. (B) Flow cytometry study of the SGC8 aptamer and NOTA-modified SGC8 aptamer specific binding on PTK-7-overexpressed cells. (C) Binding affinity study against target cells of NOTA-SGC8 and SGC8. Kd values are 3.49 nM and 1.88 nM, respectively. (D) Cell binding assay of radiolabeled aptamer 68Ga[Ga]-NOTA-SGC8 and 68Ga[Ga]-NOTA-Library, ***P ≤ 0.001. These results demonstrated that the SGC8 aptamer maintained its targeting functionality after NOTA modification and 68Ga radioisotope labeling.
