Abstract

Herein, we describe a fast and robust method for achieving 68Ga-labelling of the EGFR-selective monoclonal antibody (mAb) Cetuximab using the bioorthogonal Inverse-electron-Demand Diels–Alder (IeDDA) reaction. The in vivo imaging of EGFR is demonstrated, as well as the translation of the method within a two-step pretargeting strategy.
