Effect of celecoxib on tumor uptake of 89Zr-CD133 IgG. (a) Representative maximal intensity projection (left) and coronal (middle) and transaxial (right) PET images in HT29 tumor-bearing mice following intraperitoneal injection of 40 mg/kg celecoxib or vehicle (control) every two days for a total of eight times. 89Zr-CD133 IgG was injected on the day of the seventh celecoxib treatment. (b) Biodistribution of 89Zr-CD133 IgG in tumor-bearing mice treated as above. Bars are of %ID/g obtained from five animals per group. , , compared to controls.
