Fluorescence staining of MC1Rs on B16/F10 melanoma cells (A) using MC1R antibody (white). The nuclei were stained with DAPI (grey). The microscopic images were acquired by confocal laser microscopy at 100 × magnification. Scale bar, 20 μm. Radioactive HPLC profile of 90Y-DOTA-GGNle-CycMSHhex (B,
TR = 19.3 min) and its mouse serum stability (C) after 4 h incubation at 37°C. Arrows indicate the original compound of 90Y-DOTA-GGNle-CycMSHhex. Specific binding of 90Y-DOTA-GGNle-CycMSHhex on B16/F10 (D) cells with or without peptide blockade. DAPI, 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole; HPLC, high-performance liquid chromatography; MC1R, melanocortin-1 receptor.
