Abstract Conventional radiolabeling for antibodies is a two step process where first chelator-antibody bioconjugates are formed, and then followed by radiolabeling. Thus, labeling site is randomized, conjugation yield is low and the bioactivity may also be compromised. New technique of site-specific labeling of radioisotope utilizing enzyme-mediated SpyCatcher/SpyTag was developed in this study and its usefulness was tested on radiolabeling of biololecules. Here, we have developed a novel probe (64Cu-SpyTag-SpyCatcher-AffiHer2) for targeting human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 (HER2). This probe can differentiate between HER2 over-expressed cells and HER2 deficient cells in in vitro studies. In the ex vivo biodistribution studies, the tumor targeting by 64Cu-SpyTag-SpyCatcher-AffiHer2 was confirmed in xenograft tumor models. These results shows that this site-specific radiolabeling strategy for biomolecules is highly specific, efficient and convenient, with no attenuation of the targeting ability.
