PK and biodistribution of PSMA aptamer, A9g. (a) Near NIR labeled aptamers NIR-A9g and NIRA9g.6 were injected tail vein in mice bearing PSMA+ tumors (implanted subcutaneously) and tracked over time with the IVIS 200 imaging system (PerkinElmer). Ex-vivo: tumors were excised at day 4 (96 hours) post-injection. (b) PK and biodistribution of NIR-A9g in a control, non-tumor-bearing mouse. (c) Specific targeting of PSMA positive tumor by A9g. NIR-A9g (top row) or NIR-A9g.6 (bottom row) were injected tail vein in SCID mice bearing subcutaneous PSMA+ (right flank) or PSMA (left flank) prostate cancer tumors. Images were acquired with the IVIS 200 imaging system (PerkinElmer) at the indicated time points following injection of the labeled RNAs.
