Background:

Exosomes are extracellular vesicles derived from various cell types that play a crucial role in intercellular communication and have significant potential for diagnostics and therapeutics¹. Recent advances in isolation technologies have enabled the purification and extraction of cell-specific exosomes from plasma. However, understanding the in vivo biodistribution of the different subpopulations of exosomes remains crucial for optimizing their therapeutic application. Zirconium-89 offers a promising tool for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging.

In this study, we labeled both small and large exosome subpopulations with Zirconium-89 to track and evaluate their biodistribution in naïve mice using PET/CT. This research aims to provide valuable insights into the in vivo distribution patterns of differently sized exosomes, which is essential for optimizing their application in diagnostics and therapeutic delivery.

Scientific poster titled Evaluating biodistribution of Zirconium-89 labeled brain derived exosomes in nude mice comparing radiopurification using PET/CT. The poster is from Perceptive Discovery. It includes sections for Introduction, Methods, Results (PET/CT MIP images and ROI analysis), and Conclusions. The central area shows PET/CT scan images of mice with highlighted biodistribution patterns, while the right side presents quantitative graphs of radiotracer uptake over time. The poster is organized with red headings and white background, containing text, diagrams, and visual data.
