Recently,there has been a lot of interest by using nanobodies (heavy chain-only antibodies produced naturally from the Camelidae) as targeting molecules for molecular imaging,especially for the nuclear medicine imaging.A radiolabeled method that generates a homogeneous product is of utmost impor-tance in radiotracer development for the nuclear medicine imaging.The conventional method for the radiolabeling of nanobodies is non-specifically,which conjugates the radioisotope chelating group to the side chain ε-amine group of lysine or sulfhydryl of cysteine of nanobodies,with a shortcoming of produce of the heterogeneous radiotracer.Here we describe a method for the site-specific radioiso-tope 99mTc labeling of nanobodies by transpeptidase Sortase A.The radiolabeling process includes two steps:first step,NH2-GGGGK(HYNIC)-COOH peptide (GGGGK =NH2-Gly-Gly-Gly-Gly-Lys-COOH,HYNIC =6-hydrazinonicotinyl) was labeled with 99mTc to obtain GGGGK-HYNIC-99mTc;second step,Sortase A catalyzes the formation of a new peptide bond between the peptide motif LPETG (NH2-Leu-Pro-Glu-Thr-Gly-COOH) expressed C-terminally on the nanobody and the N-terminal of GGGGK-HYNIC-99mTc.After a simple purification process,homogeneous single-conjugated and stable 99mTc-labeled nano-bodies were obtained in ＞50％ yield.This approach demonstrates that the Sortase A-mediated conjuga-tion is a valuable strategy for the development of site-specifically 99mTc-labeled nanobodies.
