From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Zirconium Zr 89 anti-CD8 antibody ZED88082A - A radioimmunoconjugate consisting of an antibody targeting the human CD8 antigen on CD8-positive CD8+ T cells and labeled with the radioisotope zirconium Zr 89, with potential imaging activity using positron emission tomography PET. Upon administration, the antibody moiety of ZED88082A specifically targets and binds to the CD8 antigen expressed on T cells. This allows for visualization of CD8+ T cells upon imaging using PET. CD8+ T cells are effector cells involved in the immune response against tumor cells and play a key role in the eradication of tumor cells.
