Characterization of structurally diverse ¹⁸F-labeled d-TCO derivatives as a PET probe for bioorthogonal pretargeted imaging Universiteit Antwerpen
Background: The pretargeted imaging strategy using inverse electron demand Diels-Alder (IEDDA) cycloaddition between a trans-cyclooctene (TCO) and tetrazine (Tz) has emerged and rapidly grown as a promising concept to improve radionuclide imaging and therapy in oncology. This strategy has mostly relied on the use of radiolabeled Tz together with TCO-modified targeting vectors leading to a rapid growth of the number of available radiolabeled ...
