PET/CT imaging of mice bearing PC-3-tumors.

<p>Animals were imaged at 4 hours, 24 hours and 48 hours after injection of the ⁶⁴Cu-MeCOSar radiotracer for B6 and B11. Shown are the maximum-intensity projections. The color scale for the PET image data shows radiotracer uptake with white corresponding to the highest activity and blue to the lowest activity. T: tumor; K: kidney; L: liver.</p

Abdurin binding assays.

<p>Affinity matured binders to EphA2, selected by CIS display, were tested in end-point titration ELISA assays in 96-well plates coated with hEphA2-Fc (a), mEphA2-Fc (b) or strepavidin (c). The purified matured Abdurin clones D2, G7, B6 and B11 were tested alongside the purified non-matured parental EphA2 binding clones selected by phage display, E10par and H3par, as detected by anti-FLAG M2-HRP conjugated antibody. Binding of Abdurin binders and the truncated wild-type human CH2 (shWTCH2) to CHO cells transfected with human EphA2 (d) or to non-transfected cells (e), was assessed by FACS analysis.</p

Localization of B11 in early endosomes and lysosomes.

<p>A) B11 internalization into early endosomes was followed by co-localization experiments using an anti-FLAG antibody (green) and the EEA1 protein, a marker of early endosome compartment, and imaged with the anti-EEA1 antibody (red). As shown in the merged images the two proteins co-localized (yellow) within the early endosome vesicles at 30 minutes. B) B11 trafficking into the lysosomes was followed by co-localization experiments using the anti-FLAG antibody (green) and anti-LAMP1 (red). Co-localization can be observed in the merged view (yellow) at 60 minutes.</p
