Dual-labeling of Cetuximab by mixing both fluorochromes before the conjugation step gives spectral results similar to those of mixing of fluorochrome-labeled Cetuximab after the conjugation step （P 〉 0.05）. In conclusion, both methods may be used equivalently for producing a dual-labeled single-antibody probe. Future studies may test whether the M-shaped spectrum may increase the diagnostic confidence in tumor-targeted multispectral optical imaging.展开更多
