64Cu-CANF-comb and comb nanoparticles were reconstituted in 0.9% sodium chloride (APP pharmaceuticals) for intravenous (i.v.) injection. Wild-type C57BL/6 mice weighing 25–32 g were anesthetized with inhaled isoflurane and injected with approximately 370 kBq of the radiolabeled nanoparticles (~ 4.0 μg/kg body weight) in 100 μL saline via tail vein. The mice were re-anesthetized before euthanizing by cervical dislocation at each time point (1 h, 4 h, and 24 h, n = 4/time point) post injection (p.i.). Organs of interest were collected, weighed and counted in a well gamma counter (Beckman 8000, San Diego, CA). Standards were prepared and measured along with the samples to calculate the percentage of the injected dose per gram of tissue (% ID/gram) or percentage of the injected dose per organ of tissue (%ID/organ) (35 (link)).
