Table 3. Blood half lives of radiolabeled VHH.

Wildtype 15.83 9.30–53.37 100 - -

Half lives were determined by fitting a one or a two phase exponential decay model based on blood obtained from both tail vein and cardiac puncture at several time points after intravenous bolus injection of 2 µg radiolabeled VHH in 12–14 month old APP/PS1 mice and wildtype littermates, as depicted in Figure 2. Please note that DTPA(111In)-pa2H was produced without any additional peptide tags.
