Abstract

Although PD-1/PD-L1 immuno-blocking therapy (IBT) has improved the prognosis of patients with gastrointestinal tumors to some extent, not all patients respond to IBT. Recent studies have shown that PD-L1 antigen expression in tumors is prognostic marker of response to PD-1/PD-L1 IBT. Here, 68Ga-TPP-1 was developed for specific and non-invasive imaging of PD-L1 expression in mouse models of colorectal cancer. Positron emission tomography (PET) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) results confirmed the highly specific targeting of 68Ga-TPP-1 in PD-L1 expressing colorectal cancer mice.
