    Abstract:
    Liver uptake of indium-111 (111In) in mice was investigated following administration of 111In-DTPA murine monoclonal antibodies (111In-DTPA-MAbs) labeled by the cyclic anhydride method. Biodistribution of HPLC-purified 111In-DTPA-MAb preparations was checked with a low (0.2 micrograms) and a high (8.0 micrograms) MAb dose. Using Bio Gel P-30 for desalting the MAb-conjugates, 111In uptake in the liver amounted to 8%-9% of the injected dose (ID) and was independent from the MAb dose, the DTPA-to-MAb molar ratio, tumor growth and biologic variability (different MAbs and different strains of mice). Using Sephadex G-25 for desalting, 0.2 micrograms doses from 7 out of 26 preparations showed increased liver accumulation of 111In in non-tumor mice ranging from 15%-25% of ID. Corresponding high doses led to a "normal" value of 8%-9%. Increased liver uptake of the low dose could not be reduced by coadministration of the unconjugated MAb, but was normal after reinjection of "in vivo filtered" material. An inverse intracellular distribution of 111In activity between sediment and supernatant of liver homogenates, following the administration of the low and the high MAb dose, indicated an artifact of the labeling procedure rather than an inherent biological property of labeled MAbs.
