Fluorescent labeled anti‐EGFR antibody for identification of regional and distant metastasis in a preclinical xenograft model

Abstract: Background-Detection of regional and distant metastatic disease has significant implications for patient management. Fluorescent imaging may be a useful technique for metastasis detection and removal.

“…Gleysteen et al conjugated Cetuximab to Cy5.5 and used it in SCID mice in a pulmonary metastatic model as well as a model of regional head and neck metastases. 72 In this study, the fluorescence was successfully confirmed by histopathology in all mice.…”

“…In order to detect tumors using NIR fluorescence, contrast agents that target tumor-specific characteristics can be used to selectively label tumor cells [16,17,18,19]. Novel NIR fluorescent agents have been developed that target tumor-specific cell surface markers [16,20], enzymatic activity [17,19,21] or increased glucose metabolism [22]. However, these tumor-specific agents are not yet available for clinical use.…”

“…We opted for oral cavity implantation of tumor fragments rather than directly injecting tumor cells [5]. In other orthotopic models described in the literature, cell injection may induce dissemination of cancer cells by the hydrostatic pressure from the syringe during injection, resulting in the rapid development of large tumors, requiring sacrifice and thus making it difficult for lymph-node metastasis to develop [7][8][9]. In certain orthotopic animal HNSCC models using cell injection, the cervical lymph-node metastases that did develop may have been due to cell dissemination by hydrostatic pressure in the lymph vessels during injection rather than to cell migration from the primary site [9,10].…”
