Abstract | Cationic ferritin (CF) has been developed as a multimodal, targeted imaging tracer to directly detect and map nephrons in the kidney in vivo. Direct detection of functional nephrons provides a unique, sensitive biomarker to predict or monitor kidney disease progression. CF has been developed to map functional nephron number from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or positron emission tomography (PET). Previous preclinical imaging studies have used non-human-derived ferritin and commercial formulations that must still be developed for translation to clinical use. Here we describe the reproducible formulation of CF (either derived from horse or from human recombinant ferritin) optimized for intravenous injection and radiolabeling by PET. The human recombinant heteropolymer ferritin is spontaneously assembled in liquid culture (Escherichia coli, E. coli) and modified to form human recombinant cationic ferritin (HrCF) to mitigate potential immunologic reactions for use in humans. |
