Ex vivo analysis of 111In-octreotide biodistribution in VX2 tumors after adenoviral infection. a Graph showing significantly higher uptake in tumors infected with AII + Ad-CMV-HA-SSTR2 compared to tumors infected with control Ad-CMV-GFP (*p < 0.004, n = 4) and Ad-CMV-HA-SSTR2 (*p < 0.002, n = 6). The ex vivo %ID/g of Ad-CMV-HA-SSTR2 was also significantly higher compared to that of control Ad-CMV-GFP (p = 0.015). b Graph showing ex vivo organs and tumor biodistribution of 111In-octreotide in rabbits bearing VX2 tumors infected in vivo with AII + Ad-CMV-HA-SSTR2, Ad-CMV-HA-SSTR2, or control virus. Increased uptake was seen in tumors infected with AII + Ad-CMV-HA-SSTR2 or Ad-CMV-HA-SSTR2 as compared to tumors infected with control Ad-CMV-GFP (*p < 0.015, n = 4), which was also found by western blot analysis of HA-SSTR2 in tumors (inset)
