Abstract

The checkpoint blockade immunotherapy has become a potent treatment strategy for cancers, and programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) is a prominent checkpoint ligand that is highly expressed in some cancers. The identification of immune checkpoint marker PD-L1 is critical for improving the success of immunotherapy. Accordingly, the binding specificity and dynamic monitoring property of a non-blocking nanobody tracer 68Ga-NOTA-Nb109 to PD-L1 were assessed in this study. The endogenous expression level of PD-L1 in several cancer cells was measured by flow cytometry, Western blot, and cellular uptake assay. Sensitivity and specificity of 68Ga-NOTA-Nb109 in monitoring the expression of PD-L1 in vivo were evaluated by PET imaging of different tumor-bearing models (U87, high PD-L1 expression; HCT 116, medium PD-L1 expression; and NCI-H1299, low PD-L1 expression). In vivo PET imaging results agreed well with those detected in vitro. In addition, PET imaging of PD-L1 expression in U87 and NCI-H1299 xenografts using 18F-FDG was also performed for comparison. The maximum tumor-to-muscle uptake ratio of 68Ga-NOTA-Nb109 was more than twofold that of 18F-FDG in U87 xenograft. The change of PD-L1 expression in NCI-H1299 cells and xenografts induc...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
