PURPOSE: Claudin 18.2 (CLDN18.2) is a reliable target for lesion detection and could have clinical implications for epithelial tumors, especially digestive system neoplasms. However, there is no predictive technology for accurate whole-body mapping of CLDN18.2 expression in patients. This study assessed the safety of the 124 I-18B10(10L) tracer and the feasibility of mapping whole-body CLDN18.2 expression using PET functional imaging. METHODS: The 124 I-18B10(10L) probe was synthesized manually, and preclinical experiments including binding affinity and specific targeting ability were conducted after testing in vitro model cells...
