Preferred Label : Zirconium Zr 89-DFO-REGN3504;
NCIt synonyms : 89Zr-DFO-REGN3504;
NCIt definition : A radioimmunoconjugate consisting of an antibody directed against the immunosuppressive
ligand programmed cell death-1 ligand 1 (PD-L1; cluster of differentiation 274; CD274),
linked, via the chelator desferrioxamine (DFO), to the radioisotope zirconium Zr 89
(Zr89), with potential diagnostic properties upon positron emission tomography (PET)
imaging. Upon administration, the antibody moiety of zirconium Zr 89-DFO-REGN3504
specifically targets and binds to PD-L1. Upon binding, the radioisotope moiety may
be detected using PET, thereby allowing the imaging and quantification of PD-L1-expressing
tumor cells. PD-L1, a transmembrane protein expressed on activated T-cells, is overexpressed
in some cancer types and plays a significant role in immune evasion by tumor cells.;
