Article Abstract
Abstract: Tumor-associated macrophages are targets of interest in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). The translocator protein 18 kDa (TSPO) is a sensitive marker for macrophages and holds potential relevance in TNBC stratification. This pilot prospective study (EITHICS, NCT04320030) aimed to assess the potential of TSPO PET/CT imaging using 18 F-DPA-714 in primary TNBC, compared with immunohistochemistry, autoradiography, and TSPO polymorphism.
Patients And Methods: Thirteen TNBC patients were included. They underwent TSPO genotyping (HAB, MAB, LAB), 18 F-FDG PET/CT, and breast MRI. Semiquantitative PET parameters were computed. VOIs were defined on the tumor lesion, healthy breast tissue, and pectoral muscle to obtain SUV, tumor-to-background ratio (TBR), and time-activity curves (TACs). Additionally, immunohistochemistry, 3 H-DPA-714, and 3 H-PK-11195 autoradiography were conducted.
Results: The majority of TNBC tumors (11/13, 84%) had a preponderance of M2-polarized macrophages with a median proportion of 82% (range, 44%-94%). 18 F-DPA-714 PET/CT clearly identified TNBC tumors with an excellent TBR. Three distinct patterns of 18 F-DPA-714 TACs were identified, categorized as "above muscular," "equal to muscular," and "below muscular" with reference to the muscular background. For the "above muscular" group (2 HAB and 2 MAB), "equal muscular" group (3 HAB, 3 MAB, and 1 LAB), and "below muscular" group (1 LAB and 1 MAB), tumor TACs showed a 18 F-DPA-714 accumulation slope of 1.35, 0.62, and 0.22, respectively, and a median SUV mean of 4.02 (2.09-5.31), 1.66 (0.93-3.07), and 0.61 (0.43-1.02).
Conclusions: This study successfully demonstrated TNBC tumor targeting by 18 F-DPA-714 with an excellent TBR, allowing to stratify 3 patterns of uptake potentially influenced by the TSPO polymorphism status. Further studies in larger populations should be performed to evaluate the prognostic value of this new biomarker.

Antigen-specific antibody infusion is known to enhance or suppress germinal center (GC) responses depending on the affinity of the infusion. We hypothesized that infusing monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) of escalating affinity during an immunization regimen may progressively escalate selection pressure on competing B cells, increasing their affinity. To test this, we immunized mice with HIV envelope gp120 and infused CD4 binding-site (CD4bs)-specific mAbs.

Background: Gartisertib is an oral inhibitor of ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related protein (ATR), a key kinase of the DNA damage response. We aimed to determine the safety and tolerability of gartisertib ± carboplatin in patients with advanced solid tumours.
Methods: This phase I open-label, multicenter, first-in-human study comprised four gartisertib cohorts: A (dose escalation [DE]; Q2W); A2 (DE; QD/BID); B1 (DE+carboplatin); and C (biomarker-selected patients).

Purpose: We aimed to assess the effect of concomitant medication, age, sex, body mass index and 18-kDa translocator protein (TSPO) binding affinity status on the metabolism and plasma pharmacokinetics of [F]DPA-714 and their influence on the plasma input function in a large cohort of 201 subjects who underwent brain and whole-body PET imaging to investigate the role of neuroinflammation in neurological diseases.
Methods: The non-metabolized fraction of [F]DPA-714 was estimated in venous plasma of 138 patients and 63 healthy controls (HCs; including additional arterial sampling in 16 subjects) during the 90 min brain PET acquisition using a direct solid-phase extraction method. The mean fraction between 70 and 90 min post-injection ([F]DPA-714) and corresponding normalized plasma concentration (SUV) were correlated with all factors using a multiple linear regression model.

Article Synopsis
- Florfenicol (FF) and its metabolite, florfenicol amine (FFA), pose health risks in agricultural products, necessitating the development of a more sensitive detection method.
- A new assay using a helper antibody-based fluorescent immunochromatographic approach (HAFIA) was created to quickly quantify FF/FFA in poultry eggs with improved detection capabilities.
- This method demonstrates 50-fold greater sensitivity than traditional tests, enabling the detection of FF at 0.01 ng/mL and FFA at 0.1 ng/mL in just 10 minutes using a portable fluorescent reader.
