The affinity and specificity of fluorescent- and radiolabelled antibodies for TF expression in glioma cell lines. (a) The affinity of Alexa Fluor 647-labelled anti-TF 1849 IgG and control IgG for TF expressed on U87MG/Luc (upper) and U87MG/Luc/TF cells (lower) was evaluated using flow cytometry. The relative intensity of Alexa Fluor 647-labelled anti-TF 1849 IgG normalized to the negative control in U87MG/Luc and U87MG/Luc/TF was 4.25 and 158.06, respectively. The relative intensity of Alexa Fluor 647-labelled control IgG in U87MG/Luc and U87MG/Luc/TF was 1.23 and 1.28, respectively. (b) To evaluate the affinity and specificity of 111In-labelled anti-TF 1849 IgG and control IgG, we examined the capacity of the radiolabelled antibodies to bind to serially diluted U87MG/Luc and U87MG/Luc/TF cells. The radioactivity derived from 111In-labelled anti-TF 1849 IgG bound to U87MG/Luc/TF cells increased in a cell number-dependent manner. In contrast, the increased radioactivity in U87MG/Luc cells was considerably lower compared to in U87MG/Luc/TF cells. However, 111In-labelled control IgG showed negligible binding to both U87MG/Luc and U87MG/Luc/TF cells.
