Combination of Near-Infrared Photoimmunotherapy Using Trastuzumab and Small Protein Mimetic for HER2-Positive Breast Cancer
Near-infrared photoimmunotherapy (NIR-PIT) is a promising cancer therapy based on a monoclonal antibody conjugated to a photosensitizer (IR700Dye) that is activated by near-infrared light irradiation. We previously reported on the use of NIR-PIT with a small protein mimetic, the Affibody molecule (6...
