The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is overexpressed in a significant percentage of human malignancies and its expression is associated with tumour aggressiveness and treatment resistance. The monoclonal antibody cetuximab (IMC-C225) blocks the ligand-binding domain of EGFR with high affinity, preventing downstream signalling resulting in tumour growth inhibition. We developed and characterized a novel imaging probe using Oregon Green 488 labelled cetuximab to evaluate its usage as an imaging agent to target EGFR.
