Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to single-domain antibodies, and in particular to anti-FAP single-domain antibodies, Fc fusion proteins constructed with such single-domain antibodies and Fc proteins, immunoconjugates, and their applications in the diagnosis or treatment of tumors, belonging to the field of anti-FAP single-domain antibodies and their applications. Background Art
[0002] Fibroblast Activation Protein (FAP) exists in tumor stromal fibroblasts and functions on the cell surface. It is a membrane serine peptidase and is one of the members of the type II serine protease family, having dipeptidyl peptidase and collagenase activities, and has dual functions in tumor growth. The proteolytic enzyme activity of FAP can enhance the invasiveness of tumor cells to the extracellular matrix, and can also promote tumor growth and proliferation. Therefore, molecular imaging targeting FAP, as well as pathological diagnosis as a tumor stromal marker, tumor gene therapy or immunotherapy, will become possible.
[0003] Active FAP is a 170 kDa homodimer, including two N-terminal glycosylated subunits of 97 kDa. It is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein with a large C-terminal extracellular region. FAP has 5 potential N-glycosylation sites, 13 cysteine residues, 3 highly conserved serine protease catalytic regions, a hydrophobic transmembrane fragment, and a small cytoplasmic tail region (6 amino acids). FAP is expressed in the cell membranes and cytoplasm of stromal fibroblasts of more than 90% of epithelial tumors, including colon cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, bladder cancer, lung cancer. It can also transiently stay in some normal fetal mesenchymal tissues, continuously exist in the activated stroma of epithelial tumors and some sarcomas, and can also be expressed in gastric cancer stroma, some bone and soft tissue sarcoma cells, granulation tissue of wound healing, damaged stroma of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, pancreatic cells, and prostate cancer. FAP-positive cells are close to the endothelial cells of tumor capillaries and surround tumor nodules, but are usually not expressed in normal adult tissues, benign and pre-cancerous epithelial lesions.
[0004] Studies have suggested that FAP has a tumor growth-promoting effect. Experiments on human breast cancer cell lines by Goodman et al. showed that the cell lines (MDA-MB-435 and MDA-MB-436) normally expressed FAP. Breast cancer cells with high FAP expression were less dependent on exogenous serum growth factors and could acquire independence from normal growth regulation. Independence from normal growth regulation is an important feature that distinguishes malignant cells from normal cells. The research group led by Huang et al. demonstrated that the human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 lacked normal expression, and the tumor growth in the high-expression mouse tumor model was faster and had more blood vessels. It was also found that the growth rate of cells expressing FAP was the same as that of cells not expressing FAP. This indicates that FAP can significantly promote tumor growth only in the microenvironment of the mammary fat pad in vivo. This study for the first time demonstrated the angiogenesis function of FAP, that is, FAP promotes breast cancer angiogenesis at least in part. These findings suggest that FAP expression is beneficial for altering the microenvironment of breast cancer cells. Prior art also found that when neovascularization occurred in the rat cornea, many biochemical factors in the corneal stroma changed. FAP-positive corneal cells appeared in the stroma, and these newly appeared cells grew together with the endothelial cells of the new blood vessels, which again demonstrated the vascular function of FAP.
[0005] Currently, the large molecular weight of antibody drugs is considered one of the main factors preventing them from exerting their drug effects. To improve the penetration of antibodies into tumors, gene modification of the antibody form is now often carried out to reduce its molecular weight or only retain its scFV structure. Single-chain fragments (single-chain antibodies) are usually rapidly cleared from the bloodstream, mostly due to their low molecular weight (molecular weight < 60 kDa, the glomerular filtration threshold). Therefore, single-chain antibodies usually have a serum half-life of less than 10 minutes. So the overall performance of these molecules is still not optimal. In addition, most antibody fragments of smaller size lack the complete fragment crystallizable (Fc) domain and thus cannot induce antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity (ADCC) and complement-dependent cell cytotoxicity (CDC), the two main mechanisms involved in eliminating tumor tissue after antigen binding.
[0006] In 1993, Hamers-Casterman et al. from the Free University of Brussels first reported that in camel blood, in addition to the traditional IgG antibodies, there is another type of antibody, which has a different molecular structure from the traditional mammalian antibody IgG. This antibody lacks both the light chain of the traditional antibody and the CH1 region of the heavy chain constant region, and is called the heavy chain antibody (HcAb). The variable region of the heavy chain antibody consists of the variable region of the antibody heavy chain, which is similar to the Fab of the traditional antibody. This variable region can specifically bind to antigens, so the heavy chain antibody can perform the same functions as the traditional antibody. The smallest unit antigen-binding fragment containing only a single domain is called a single-domain antibody (sdAbs). Single-domain antibodies usually consist of only 110–130 amino acids and have a molecular weight of only 12–15 kDa, which is much smaller than the traditional macromolecular antibody (150–160 kDa) and its Fab fragment (about 50 kDa), but can have a similar or higher specific antigen affinity to the traditional antibody. The inherent characteristics of single-domain antibodies, such as small molecular weight, stable physicochemical properties, high affinity, and easy recombinant expression and preparation, have attracted much attention since their discovery.
[0007] Although single-domain antibodies provide a new breakthrough for antibody research, there are still some problems. For example, the half-life of single-domain antibodies is short. Although it is suitable for molecular imaging, if used as a drug for treatment, it may be metabolized by the system prematurely.
[0008] The deletion of FAP indirectly inhibits the proliferation of tumor cells, accelerates the accumulation of collagen, reduces the myofibroblast component, and decreases the intratumoral vascular density. Therefore, FAP is an important target for tumor targeted therapy. If a highly specific anti-FAP single-domain antibody is obtained, it can effectively inhibit tumor growth by targeting and blocking the stromal and vascular supply of tumors. Summary of the Invention

[0046] Term Definitions Related to the Present Invention
[0047] As used herein, the term "single-domain antibody (sdAb)" refers to a fragment containing a single variable domain in an antibody, also known as a Nanobody. Like a complete antibody, it can selectively bind to a specific antigen. Compared with the mass of a complete antibody of 150-160 kDa, a single-domain antibody is much smaller, about only 12-15 kDa. The first single-domain antibody was artificially engineered from the heavy-chain antibody of a camel and is called the "VHH segment".
[0048] As used herein, the term "identity" of a sequence can be used interchangeably with "sameness" and refers to the degree of similarity between sequences determined by a sequence alignment software such as BLAST. Methods and software for sequence alignment are well known to those skilled in the art. A modified nucleotide sequence can be obtained by substitution, deletion, and / or addition of one or several (such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 or more) amino acids or bases to a known sequence. For example, by conventional means (such as conservative substitution, etc.), one or more of the amino acid or nucleotide sequences shown in SEQ ID NO: 1-198 of the present invention can be modified to obtain sequences having a sequence identity greater than 80%, greater than 85%, greater than 90%, greater than 95%, or greater than 99% with these and having substantially the same properties, which are all within the protection scope of the present invention. Preferably, the present invention obtains sequence identity by conservative substitution, but is not limited to conservative substitution.
[0049] The term "complementary" as used herein refers to two nucleotide sequences comprising anti-parallel nucleotide sequences that can pair with each other after forming hydrogen bonds between complementary base residues of the anti-parallel nucleotide sequences. It is known in the art that when the sequences are viewed in the 5' to 3' direction, the nucleotide sequences of two complementary strands are reverse complementary to each other. It is also known in the art that two sequences that can hybridize to each other under a given set of conditions do not necessarily have to be 100% completely complementary.
[0050] The term "amino acid sequence" refers to the order in which amino acids are linked together to form a peptide chain (or polypeptide), and the amino acid sequence can only be read in one direction. There are more than 100 different types of amino acids, 20 of which are commonly used. The present invention does not exclude the presence of other substances on the amino acid chain, such as modifications by sugars, lipids, etc., and the present invention is not limited to the 20 commonly used amino acids.
[0051] The term "nucleotide sequence" refers to the arrangement order of bases in DNA or RNA, i.e., the arrangement order of A, T, G, C in DNA, or the arrangement order of A, U, G, C in mRNA, and also includes the arrangement order of bases in rRNA, tRNA, and mRNA. It should be understood that the antibody genes claimed in the present invention, in addition to DNA sequences, also cover RNA (rRNA, tRNA, mRNA) and their complementary sequences.
[0052] The substitutions described in the present invention may be conservative substitutions, that is, specific amino acid residues are replaced with residues having similar physicochemical characteristics. Non-limiting examples of conservative substitutions include substitutions between amino acid residues containing aliphatic groups (such as mutual substitutions between Ile, Val, Leu, or Ala), substitutions between polar residues (such as mutual substitutions between Lys and Arg, Glu and Asp, Gln and Asn), etc. Mutants formed by deletion, substitution, insertion, and / or addition of amino acids can be prepared by performing site-directed mutagenesis on the DNA encoding the wild-type protein, such as a well-known technique (see, for example, Nucleic Acid Research, Vol. 10, No. 20, p. 6487-6500, 1982, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety).
[0053] The term "stringent hybridization conditions" means conditions of low ionic strength and high temperature known in the art. Typically, under stringent conditions, a probe hybridizes to its target sequence with a detectable level that is higher (e.g., at least 2-fold above background) than that to other sequences. Stringent hybridization conditions are sequence-dependent and will vary in different environmental conditions, with longer sequences hybridizing specifically at higher temperatures. A target sequence that is 100% complementary to the probe can be identified by controlling the stringency of hybridization or washing conditions. Exhaustive guidance for nucleic acid hybridization can be found in the relevant literature (Tijssen, Techniques in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology - Hybridization with Nucleic Probes, "Overview of principles of hybridization and the strategy of nucleic acid assays, 1993). More specifically, the stringent conditions are typically selected to be about 5 - 10 °C below the thermal melting point (Tm) of the specific sequence at a specified ionic strength and pH. The Tm is the temperature at which 50% of the probe complementary to the target hybridizes to the target sequence at equilibrium (at a specified ionic strength, pH, and nucleic acid concentration) (since the target sequence is present in excess, 50% of the probe is occupied at equilibrium at the Tm). Stringent conditions can be those in which the salt concentration is less than about 1.0 M sodium ion concentration at pH 7.0 to 8.3, typically about 0.01 to 1.0 M sodium ion concentration (or other salts), and the temperature is at least about 30 °C for short probes (including, but not limited to, 10 to 50 nucleotides), and at least about 60 °C for long probes (including, but not limited to, greater than 50 nucleotides). Stringent conditions can also be achieved by adding destabilizing agents such as formamide. For selective or specific hybridization, a positive signal can be at least twice the background hybridization, or 10-fold background hybridization as the case may be. Exemplary stringent hybridization conditions can be as follows: 50% formamide, 5×SSC, and 1% SDS, incubated at 42 °C; or 5×SSC, 1% SDS, incubated at 65 °C, washed in 0.2×SSC and washed in 0.1% SDS at 65 °C. The washing can be carried out for 5, 15, 30, 60, 120 minutes or longer.
[0054] In this specification, "one or more amino acids" refers to the extent of amino acids that can be deleted, substituted, inserted, and / or added by site-directed mutagenesis methods. Without limitation, it is preferably 20 or less, 15 or less, 10 or less, or 7 or less, and more preferably 5 or less. Regarding site-directed mutagenesis methods, for example, in addition to the desired mutation, i.e., specific inconsistencies, synthetic oligonucleotide primers complementary to the single-stranded phage DNA to be mutated can be used as follows. That is, a strand complementary to the phage is synthesized using the above synthetic oligonucleotide as a primer, and the resulting double-stranded DNA is used to transform a host cell. The culture of the transformed bacteria is spread on agar, and plaques are formed from single cells containing the phage. Then, the plaques hybridizing with the probe are collected, cultured, and the DNA is recovered. Moreover, methods for deleting, substituting, inserting, and / or adding one or more amino acids to the amino acid sequence of a bioactive peptide such as an enzyme while maintaining its activity, in addition to the above site-directed mutagenesis, include methods of treating genes with mutagenic sources and methods of selectively cleaving genes, then deleting, substituting, inserting, or adding selected nucleotides, and then ligating them.
[0055] The term "Expression vectors" refers to vectors that can express a target gene by adding expression elements (such as promoters, RBSs, terminators, etc.) on the basis of the basic framework of a cloning vector. An expression vector consists of four parts: a target gene, a promoter, a terminator, and a marker gene. The present invention includes, but is not limited to, prokaryotic cell expression vectors, eukaryotic cell expression vectors, or other cell expression vectors.
[0056] The term "Framework region", i.e., the framework area, has a very large variation in the amino acid sequence of approximately 110 amino acids near the N-terminus of the H and L chains of immunoglobulins, and the amino acid sequences of other parts are relatively constant. Based on this, the light and heavy chains can be divided into variable regions (V) and constant regions (C). The variable region contains hypervariable regions (HVRs) or complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) and FR framework regions.
[0057] The terms "mutation" and "mutant" have their common meanings herein and refer to genetic, naturally occurring, or introduced changes in nucleic acid or polypeptide sequences, and their meanings are the same as those commonly known to those skilled in the art.
[0058] The term "host cell" or "recombinant host cell" means a cell containing the polynucleotide of the present invention, regardless of the method used for insertion to produce the recombinant host cell, such as direct uptake, transduction, f-mating, or other methods known in the art. The exogenous polynucleotide can be maintained as a non-integrated vector such as a plasmid or can be integrated into the host genome. Description of the Drawings

[0079] Example 1 Construction of a single-domain antibody library specific to FAP antigen
[0080] 1. Immunize alpacas with FAP antigen
[0081] Select adult healthy alpacas and inject FAP antigen subcutaneously at multiple points on the back of the neck. The total amount is 2 mg (FAP Protein, Human, Recombinant (ECD, His Tag), Sino Biological Inc., Catalog No. 10464-H07H). Add an equal volume of Freund's adjuvant to the antigen and immunize 6 times. The immunization interval is 14 - 21 days. Collect serum before and after immunization, and use the ELISA method to determine the immunization titer of the antigen. When the titer reaches more than 10,000 times, collect 70 ml of whole blood, isolate PBMC cells, add Trizol and mix well, then store at -80 °C for later use.
[0082] 1. RNA extraction
[0083] Take 1 ml of the separated PBMC cells, add 0.2 ml of chloroform, and mix well by shaking. Add 200 μL of chloroform, shake vigorously for 15 s, and let stand at room temperature for 3 min; centrifuge at 12,000 rpm at 4 °C for 15 min; carefully take out the centrifuge tube, aspirate the supernatant and transfer it to a new 1.5 mL Eppendorf tube, add an equal volume of isopropanol, invert up and down to mix well, and let stand at room temperature for 10 min; centrifuge at 12,000 rpm at 4 °C for 10 min; carefully discard the supernatant with a pipette tip, add 75% ethanol along the wall of the tube, and gently blow up the precipitate (or gently flick the bottom of the tube with your hand); centrifuge at 7,500 rpm at 4 °C for 5 min; carefully pour out the supernatant, spin for another 1 min, and aspirate the supernatant; open the lid and let stand at room temperature for 10 - 15 min until the ethanol has completely evaporated; add 30 μL of RNase-free water to dissolve the RNA, and immediately reverse transcribe the RNA into cDNA.
[0084] 2. Obtain the variable region - V of the Anti-FAP heavy chain antibody by RT-PCR HH Gene fragment (single-domain antibody gene)
[0085] According to the cDNA synthesis kit (PrimeScript TMUsing the instruction manual of the II 1st Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit (Catalog No. 6210A, manufactured by TAKARA), the extracted RNA was reverse-transcribed into cDNA. The following reaction mixture was prepared in a centrifuge tube: 1 μl of Random 6 mers (50 μM), 1 μl of dNTP Mixture (10 mM each), template RNA: less than 5 μg, and RNase-Free ddH2O to a total volume of 10 μl. The mixture was incubated at 65°C for 5 min and then rapidly cooled on ice. The following reverse transcription reaction solution with a total volume of 20 μl was prepared in the above centrifuge tube. 10 μl of the denatured reaction solution mentioned above, 4 μl of 5×PrimeScript II Buffer, 0.5 μl of RNase Inhibitor (40 U / μl), 1 μl of PrimeScript II RTase (200 U / μl), and RNase-Free dH2O was added to make the total volume 20 μl. The reverse transcription reaction was carried out under the following conditions: 30°C for 10 min, 42°C for 30 - 60 min, 95°C for 5 min, and then cooled on ice.
[0086] Using the cDNA as a template, PCR amplification of the heavy chain V HH gene fragments was performed with two sets of primers respectively. In the first PCR amplification, those greater than 750 bp were common heavy chain gene fragments, and those between 750 - 500 bp were single-domain antibody gene fragments. The heavy chain antibody V HH gene fragments (single-domain antibody genes) were gel-extracted and recovered. Using this as a template, the V HH specific primers were used for PCR amplification to obtain the V HH target gene (~500 bp)

[0096] 3. Ligation and transformation
[0097] Digest the PCR product and the pHEN6 vector with the restriction endonuclease SfiI, digest overnight at 37°C, and purify and recover the fragments using a universal recovery kit (Tiangen, product number: DP214). Mix the recovered fragments and the vector at a ratio of 3:1, add T4 DNA ligase (NEB, M0202L), mix well and centrifuge briefly, place in a 16°C constant-temperature metal bath, ligate overnight, and purify and recover the ligation product using a universal recovery kit. For the ligation product of the V HH fragment and the pHEN6 vector, electrotransform it into TG1 competent cells, spread on plates, and verify the antibody insertion rate by colony PCR. Spread the electrotransformed bacterial solution on LB / Amp plates, incubate at 37°C for 14 hours, count the colonies and calculate the library capacity the next day. Use 2YT medium at 2 mL / plate, scrape the colonies. After mixing all the colonies evenly, add glycerol and store as 20% glycerol bacteria. 1 ml / vial, store at -80°C.
[0098] 4. Anti-FAPV HH Preparation of phage library (single-domain antibody library)
[0099] Take 1 ml of the seed bacterial library and add it to 200 ml of 2YT medium (containing a final concentration of 50 μg / ml Amp + 1% glucose), culture at 37°C until OD 600After it reaches 0.8 - 1, add M13KO7 helper phage at a ratio of 1:20 for infection. After culturing for 1 hour, replace it with fresh 2YT medium (containing 100 μg / ml Amp + 50 μg / ml Kana at the final concentration), and culture it overnight on a shaker at 37°C. Collect the bacterial solution into a sterile centrifuge tube, centrifuge to collect the supernatant, then add 1 / 5 volume of 20% PEG - 2.5M NaCl, mix well, incubate on ice for 1 hour, centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 30 min, discard the supernatant, dissolve the precipitate in 3 ml of sterile 15% glycerol - PBS solution, and store the phage library at -80°C.
[0100] Example 2 Screening of Anti - FAP Single - Domain Antibody
[0101] 1. Screening for FAP - specific single - domain antibody
[0102] Coat the FAP protein onto the immunotube with the coating solution for the first - round screening at 25 μg / ml. (The coating concentration for the second - round screening is 10 μg / ml.) Discard the coating solution, block the whole tube with the blocking solution, add the phage solution after 1 h at room temperature, wash the tube 20 times with PBST, and then wash 5 times with PBS. Elute with 500 μl of elution solution and add the neutralizing solution for neutralization. Take 2 μl of the eluted phage for titer determination, and culture the remaining phage solution for expansion.
[0103] Determining the titer is convenient for the next - round screening. The screening results are shown in Table 2.

[0105]
[0106] Using the coated FAP protein as the target, perform 3 - round screening from the total phage antibody library by solid - phase screening method, detect the titer of the phage eluted in each round. As can be seen from Table 2, as the number of screening rounds increases, the coating concentration decreases step by step, but the titer of the eluted phage increases, indicating that FAP - specific phages are enriched.

[0111] Using the elution product of phage screening as a template, a specific Anti-FAP single-domain antibody gene was obtained by PCR amplification ( Figure 2 Shown in the figure of FAPphage PCR amplification product). The PCR product and the pSJF2 vector were treated with the restriction enzymes BbsI and BamHI respectively, and the ligated fragments were electrotransformed into TG1 competent cells by T4 DNA ligase to obtain a plasmid capable of highly expressing single-domain antibodies in Escherichia coli.

After culturing for 4 hours, IPTG was added to the deep-well culture plate to a final concentration of 1 mM for induction. After culturing overnight, the bacterial supernatant expressing the protein was harvested, and the FAP antigen was coated for ELISA determination. The concentration of the coated FAP antigen protein was 1 μg / ml, 100 μl / well, and incubated overnight at 4°C. The supernatant after overnight induction was added, and Anti-myc (HRP) was used as the secondary antibody, and incubated at 37°C for 1 h. After washing, TMB was added for color development, 2M H2SO4 was added to terminate the reaction, and the OD value of the sample at a wavelength of 450 nm was measured with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay reader. The Anti-FAP positive wells were selected, and DNA sequencing was performed to identify the gene sequences of the anti-FAP single-domain antibody clones, and a series of single-domain antibody gene sequences were obtained. Through the analysis and typing of the amino acids encoded by the sequences, single-domain antibodies of multiple gene subtypes were obtained, and finally, highly specific and highly active anti-FAP single-domain antibodies F80-3C4 and F80-4G3 were screened; among them, the amino acid sequence of the single-domain antibody F80-3C4 includes 3 complementary determining regions (CDRs), and the amino acid sequences of the 3 complementary determining regions are shown in SEQ ID NO.1, SEQ ID NO.2, and SEQ ID NO.3 respectively; the amino acid sequence of the single-domain antibody F80-3C4 is shown in SEQ ID NO.4, and the nucleotide sequence of its encoding gene is shown in SEQ ID NO.5; the amino acid sequence of the single-domain antibody F80-4G3 includes 3 complementary determining regions (CDRs), and the amino acid sequences of the 3 complementary determining regions are shown in SEQ ID NO.6, SEQ ID NO.7, and SEQ ID NO.8 respectively; the amino acid sequence of the single-domain antibody F80-3C4 is shown in SEQ ID NO.9, and the nucleotide sequence of its encoding gene is shown in SEQ ID NO.10.

[0142] 1. Chip preparation
[0143] The mouse anti-human IgG (Fc) antibody was diluted to 25 μg / mL with the immobilization reagent (10 mM sodium acetate, pH 5.0). First, the surface of the CM5 chip was activated with 400 mM EDC and 100 mM NHS at a flow rate of 10 μL / min for 420 s. Second, the 25 μg / mL mouse anti-human IgG (Fc) antibody was injected into the experimental channel (FC2) at a flow rate of 10 μL / min for about 420 s, and the immobilized amount was about 9000 to 14000 RU. Finally, the chip was blocked with 1 M ethanolamine at a flow rate of 10 μL / min for 420 s. The reference channel (FC1) was operated in the same way as the test channel (FC2). (Refer to the instruction manual of the human IgG (Fc) capture kit of GE, 《22-0648-88AD》).

[0178] 4. Efficacy and safety tests of the labeled antibody
[0179] 4.1 Experimental protocol
[0180] After single intravenous injection of about 400 μCi of 177 Lu-F803C4-Fc to HT1080 tumor-bearing mice, the tumor size and body weight were detected. 177 The solvent of Lu-test substance was normal saline, and the dilution solution for animal administration was normal saline. The control groups were normal saline (with the same administration volume as the experimental group) and 177 LuCl3 (400 μCi). The body weight was weighed and the tumor size was measured before administration. After administration, the body weight and tumor size of the enrolled experimental animals were detected every day.
[0181] The number of mice in each group was respectively: 1778 mice in the Lu-F803C4-Fc experimental group, 4 mice in the normal saline control group, 177 8 mice in the LuCl3 control group, with half males and half females. During the animal feeding period, they had free access to food and water. The environmental conditions were set as room temperature of 20°C to 26°C, relative humidity of 40% to 70%, and 12-hour light and dark alternation.
[0182] 4.2 Experimental results
[0183] The tumor size changed over time as Figure 18 shown, and the body weight of the mice changed over time as Figure 19 shown.
[0184] According to the experimental results, it can be seen that there were no significant differences in the tumor volumes among the groups before treatment. After treatment, 177 the average tumor volume in the Lu-F803C4-Fc group was less than 1500 mm until the 29th day 3 (1093.16 ± 382.49 mm 3 ), while the average tumor volume in the normal saline group gradually increased and finally reached 2829.02 ± 1165.54 mm 3 . 177 The tumor growth curve trend in the LuCl3 group was the same as that in the normal saline group. Compared with the normal saline group and 177 the LuCl3 group, 177 the Lu-F803C4-Fc group could significantly inhibit tumor growth. 177 No adverse reactions such as rapid weight loss, diarrhea, hair loss, etc. were observed in the Lu-F803C4-Fc group, indicating that 177 Lu-F803C4-Fc had good safety.
