  • Title: Dual isotope study of iodine-125 and indium-111-labeled antibody in athymic mice.
    Author: Carney PL, Rogers PE, Johnson DK.
    Journal: J Nucl Med; 1989 Mar; 30(3):374-84. PubMed ID: 2738666.
    Abstract:
    Monoclonal antibody B72.3 was coupled to a benzylisothiocyanate derivative of diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA). The maximum substitution achievable without loss of immunoreactivity was three DTPA groups per immunoglobulin molecule. The resulting conjugate was labeled with 111In by brief incubation with 111InCl3, giving a mean radiochemical yield of 111In-labeled antibody of 96%. The [111In]B72.3 preparation was mixed with an [125I] B72.3 preparation, obtained by the chloramine-T method, and the mixture administered to athymic mice bearing subcutaneous LS174T colon carcinoma xenografts. There were no significant differences (p greater than 0.1) in the biodistributions of the two labels at 1, 2, 5, and 7 days postinjection. These results are contrasted with prior studies showing elevated levels of 111In in liver, spleen, and kidneys using B72.3-DTPA conjugates prepared via the bicyclic anhydride. It is concluded that protein cross-linking and/or the formation of unstable chelate sites in anhydride coupled conjugates underlie these disparities.
