    Abstract:
    An attempt was made to use 99Tcm-d,l-cyclobutylpropylene amine oxime (99Tcm-d,l-CBPAO) to label leukocytes. The radiochemical purity of 99Tcm-d,l-CBPAO, labelling efficiency of leukocytes, cell viability of labelled leukocytes and stability of 99Tcm-d,l-CBPAO-labelled leukocytes were calculated. In comparison with the commercial cell-labelling agent 99Tcm-d,l-hexamethylpropylene amine oxime (99Tcm-d,l-HMPAO), (1) the radiochemical purity of 99Tcm-d,l-CBPAO was higher than that of 99Tcm-d,l-HMPAO immediately after and 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 24 h after 99Tcm labelling; (2) the labelling efficiency of 99Tcm-d,l-CBPAO-labelled leukocytes was lower than that of 99Tcm-d,l-HMPAO; (3) the viability of labelled white blood cells was high for both agents; and (4) the stability of 99Tcm-d,l-CBPAO-labelled leukocytes was better than that of 99Tcm-d,l-HMPAO after 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 24 h. In conclusion, although the labelling efficiency of 99Tcm-d,l-CBPAO is lower, it is more stable than 99Tcm-d,l-HMPAO and provides greater stability of 99Tcm-d,l-CBPAO-labelled leukocytes. Therefore, 99Tcm-d,l-CBPAO has the potential to replace 99Tcm-d,l-HMPAO as a commercial leukocyte-labelling agent.
