        | Core Tip | We examined whether anti-tissue factor (TF) antibody 1849-indocyanine green (ICG) conjugate (1849-ICG) induced the photoimmunotherapeutic effect in a pancreatic cancer xenograft. There was no report about employing 1849-ICG conjugate which selectively binds the target antigen TF for near-infrared photoimmunotherapy (NIR-PIT) of tumor, though some studies have suggested the usefulness of anti-TF 1849 in cancer imaging and therapy. Our study proposes for the first time that 1849-ICG conjugate is a desirable candidate for new treatment modality NIR-PIT of pancreatic cancer after evaluating its cytotoxic and antitumor effects via in vitro and in vivo studies in mouse model of pancreatic cancer. |
