Table 2 Labeling and stability of [68Ga]Ga-(HE)3-ZHER3-DOTA, [68Ga]Ga-(HE)3-ZHER3-DOTAGA, [68Ga]Ga-(HE)3-ZHER3-NODAGA. Stability of the radiolabeled complexes is expressed as % release (n = 6).

From: Increase in negative charge of 68Ga/chelator complex reduces unspecific hepatic uptake but does not improve imaging properties of HER3-targeting affibody molecules
