All solvents and reagents used in this
study were obtained from Sigma Aldrich (St. Louis, MO) or Fisher Scientific
(Pittsburgh, PA). Buffers used for radiolabeling were prepared in
chelexed Milli-Q water which was filtered through a 0.22 μm
nylon filter. A Varian Mercury-300 spectrometer or a VARIAN UNITY
Inova 400 spectrometer was utilized to record 1H (300 MHz)
NMR spectra. A VARIAN VXR 500 with a UNITY INOVA Console spectrometer
was used to record 13C (126 MHz) NMR spectra. Chemical
shifts are reported in parts per million and referenced to residual
solvent resonance peaks. Radio-TLC detection was accomplished using
a Bioscan 200 imaging scanner (Bioscan, Inc., Washington, DC). Radioactive
samples were counted on a Beckman Gamma 8000 counter containing a
NaI crystal (Beckman Instruments, Inc., Irvine, CA). A two-solvent
reversed-phase HPLC system was used to evaluate the radiolabeling
efficiency with water [0.05% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA)] and acetonitrile
(0.05% TFA). HPLC used a Kinetex (Phenomenex) C-18 column (5 μm,
4.6 × 150 mm I.D.). The HPLC instrument was composed of UV absorbance
detectors set at 220 and 280 nm, a NaI radiotracer detector, and a
photodiode array detector. A gradient elution with acetonitrile (0.1%
TFA) 0–100% buffer mobile phase over the course of 13 min and
a 1 mL/min flow rate was developed for radiochemical purity profiling.

Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) was carried out on a Waters (Millford, MA) chromatograph equipped with a Waters Alliance high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) system pump (2695 Separation Module) and four Visco Gel I-Series columns from Viscotek (dimensions = 7.8 mm × 30 cm). Detection was provided by a Waters 2414 differential refractometer and N,N-dimethyl formamide (DMF) with 0.1 % LiBr used as the mobile phase. Copolymer chromatograms were run at room temperature and calibrated to poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) standards. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) was performed on a Wyatt Technology (Goleta, CA) DynaPro NanoStar™ at room temperature. Data was collected on 0.1 wt% aqueous nanoparticle solutions filtered through a 0.2 μm filter. Zeta potential measurements were acquired on a Malvern Zetasizer (Zetasizer Nano ZS ZEN3600, Westborough, MA). A Bioscan 200 imaging scanner (Bioscan, Washington, DC) was used to read the instant thin layer chromatography (ITLC) plates (Pall ITLC-SG plates, VWR International, Batavia, IL). Fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC) and radio-FPLC were performed using an ÄKTA FPLC system (GE Healthcare Biosciences, Pittsburgh, PA) equipped with a Beckman 170 Radioisotope Detector (Beckman Instruments, Fullerton, CA).

All solvents and reagents were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA) or Fisher Scientific (Pittsburgh, PA, USA) and used as received. All solutions and buffers were prepared using HPLC-grade water. Radio-TLCs employed Whatman 60 Å silica gel thin-layer chromatography (TLC) plates and were analyzed using a Bioscan 200 imaging scanner (Bioscan, Inc., Washington, DC, USA). Radioactivity was counted with a Beckman Gamma 8000 counter containing a NaI crystal (Beckman Instruments, Inc., Irvine, CA, USA). The peptides EB-DOTA-(PEG28)2-A20FMDV2, IBA-DOTA-(PEG28)2-A20FMDV2, and non-albumin peptide DOTA-(PEG28)2-A20FMDV2 were synthesized by AnaSpec company (Fremont, CA, USA) and characterized by HPLC and mass spectrometry. A stock solution of 1 nmol/μL was made with HPLC-grade water and stored at −20 °C before use. Non-PEGylated A20FMDV2 peptide served as a blocking agent. BxPC-3 cells were purchased from ATCC (Manassas, VA, USA) and grown in RPMI 1640, 10% FBS, and 10 mM HEPES. The cells were cultured in an incubator at 37 °C, 5% CO2, and harvested in PBS by trypsin-EDTA 0.25% before use.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
