A label for an antibody or protein is described that is both site-selective and unusually stable in vivo. The label has a general formula given by Formula (I) wherein R.sub.1 is a metal chelator, a fluorophore or a click-chemistry synthon. ##STR00001##

The present invention provides antibodies useful as therapeutics for treating and/or preventing diseases associated with cells expressing CLD18, including tumor-related diseases such as gastric cancer, esophageal cancer, pancreatic cancer, lung cancer, ovarian cancer, colon cancer, hepatic cancer, head-neck cancer, and cancer of the gallbladder.

Disclosed is a tumor-specific antibody and fluorophore conjugate for detecting, localizing and imaging of various tumors. Also disclosed are methods for detecting, localizing and imaging a solid tumor before or during a tumor resection surgery using the antibody-fluorophore conjugate.

The present disclosure describes a non-linear compartmental model using PET-derived data to predict, on a patient-specific basis, the optimal therapeutic dose of cargo carrying antibody (e.g., huA33) such as radiolabeled antibody, the antigen occupancy, residency times in normal and malignant tissues, and the cancer-to-normal tissue (e.g., colorectal cancer-to-normal colon tissue) therapeutic index. In addition, the non-linear compartmental model can be readily applied to the development of strategies such as multi-step targeting (MST) designed to further improve the therapeutic indices of RIT.
