PARP-1–Targeted Auger Emitters Display High-LET Cytotoxic Properties In Vitro but Show Limited Therapeutic Utility in Solid Tumor Models of Human Neuroblastoma
1 Nov 2019
Abstract excerpt
The currently available therapeutic radiopharmaceutical for high-risk neuroblastoma, 131I-metaiodobenzylguanidine, is ineffective at targeting micrometastases because of the low–linear-energy-transfer (LET) properties of high-energy β-particles. In contrast, Auger radiation has high-LET properties with nanometer ranges in tissue, efficiently causing DNA damage when emitted near DNA. The aim of this study was to...
