Panitumumab-IRDye800 was produced under GMP at the Leidos Biomedical Research Center (Frederick, MD). IRDye800CW-NHS (IRDye800CW-N-hydroxysuccinimide ester; LI-COR Biosciences) as a fluorescent probe with a NIR absorption and emission peak of 778 nm/794 nm as discussed previously (17 (link),20 (link),21 (link)). Briefly, panitumumab (Vectibix; Amgen, Thousand Oaks, CA, USA; 147 kDa) was conjugated to IRDye800CW-NHS by a 2-hour incubation at 20°C in the dark with a dye to protein ratio of 2.3:1. Quality control of the conjugate included analysis of drug product in sterile vial for particulates, and integrity of the sterilizing filter. Upon production and vialing, vials were transported to Stanford University where they were stored at the Stanford Health Care Investigational Pharmacy.
