  • Title: [111In-oxine-labeled granulocytes in Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis. Labeling and study technics].
    Author: Becker W, Fischbach W, Reiners C, Börner W.
    Journal: Rofo; 1985 Mar; 142(3):320-5. PubMed ID: 2984737.
    Abstract:
    111In-oxine "pure" granulocyte scanning allows an exact localisation of infiltrated bowel in Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Fecal excretion of labeled granulocytes yields a good parameter of disease activity. In comparison to 111In-oxine "mixed" leukocyte scanning, this method is more specific in assessing disease activity and more sensitive in localising diseased bowel. Radiation exposure to blood cells is not as high as in "mixed" leukocyte scanning. Pure granulocytes were isolated by discontinuous density gradient centrifugation of an isolated "mixed" leukocyte fraction.
