Site-specific labeling of his-tagged Nanobodies with ⁹⁹mTc: a practical guide

Methods Mol Biol. 2012:911:485-90. doi: 10.1007/978-1-61779-968-6_30.

Abstract

99mTc-tricarbonyl chemistry provides an elegant technology to site-specifically radiolabel histidine-tagged biomolecules. Considering their unique biochemical properties, this straightforward technology is particularly suited for Nanobodies. This chapter gives a detailed guide to generate highly specific Nanobody-derived radiotracers for both in vitro binding studies and in vivo molecular imaging.
