Summary: | Targeted alpha therapy (TAT) has garnered significant interest as an innovative cancer therapy. Owing to their high energy and short range, achieving selective α-particle accumulation in target tumor cells is crucial for obtaining high potency without adverse effects. To meet this demand, we fabricated an innovative radiolabeled antibody, specifically designed to selectively deliver <sup>211</sup>At (α-particle emitter) to the nuclei of cancer cells. The developed <sup>211</sup>At-labeled antibody exhibited a superior effect compared to its conventional counterparts. This study paves the way for organelle-selective drug delivery. |
