YAC-1 tumor cells double-labeled with Na2[51Cr]O4 [51Cr] and [125I]iododeoxyuridine [125IUdR] were injected intravenously into Balb/c mice in order to investigate their migration and fate 0–4 h after the injection. Whereas the clearance of tumor cells from the lung tissue was similar as judged with both labels, the kinetics of isotope uptake in the liver were strikingly different. Thus, retention of 51Cr in the liver was very high compared to a much lower and only transient retention of 125I. A higher retention of non-tumor cell-associated 51Cr was also observed in most other organs, resulting in overestimation of the number of viable tumor cells in these organs. Moreover, a marked spontaneous release (> 10% after 12 h) makes 51Cr less suitable as a cell label than 125IUdR. On the other hand, we found that the release of 125I from dead cells in vivo depends at least partially on host factors such as macrophages. Consequently, caution must be exerted when tumor cell migration is investigated in animals treated with drugs that might affect the reticuloendothelial system. We conclude that 125IUdR is superior to 51Cr as a cell label for investigation of tumor cell migration in vivo, even though some doubt about the reliability of the number of tumor cells in liver and carcass, predicted by this radiolabel, still remains.  相似文献

We measured the toxicity and mutagenicity induced in human diploid lymphoblasts by various radiation doses of X-rays and two internal emitters. [125I]iododeoxyuridine ([125I]dUrd) and [3H]thymidine ([3H]TdR), incorporated into cellular DNA. [125I]dUrd was more effective than [3H]TdR at killing cells and producing mutations to 6-thioguanine resistance (6TGR). No ouabain-resistant mutants were induced by any of these agents. Expressing dose as total disintegrations per cell (dpc), the D0 for cell killing for [125I]dUrd was 28 dpc and for [3H]TdR was 385 dpc. The D0 for X-rays was 48 rad at 37°C. The slopes of the mutation curves were approximately 75 × 10−8 6TGR mutants per cell per disintegration for [125I]dUrd and 2 × 10−8 for [3H]TdR. X-Rays induced 8 × 10−8 6TGR mutants per cell per rad. Normalizing for survival, [125I]dUrd remained much more mutagenic at low doses (high survival levels) than the other two agents. Treatment of the cells at either 37°C or while frozen at −70°C yielded no difference in cytotoxicity or mutation for [125I]dUrd or [3H]TdR, whereas X-rays were 6 times less effective in killing cells at −70°C.Assuming that incorporation was random throughout the genome, the mutagenic efficiencies of the radionuclides could be calculated by dividing the mutation rate by the level of incorporation. If the effective target size of the 6TGR locus is 1000–3000 base pairs, then the mutagenic efficiency of [125I]dUrd is 1.0–3.0 and of [3H]TdR is 0.02–0.06 total genomic mutations per cell per disintegration. 125I disintegrations are known to produce localized DNA double-strand breaks. If these breaks are potentially lethal lesions, they must be repaired, since the mean lethal dose (D0) was 28 dpc. The observations that a single dpc has a high probability of producing a mutation (mutagenic efficiency 1.0–3.0) would suggest, however, that this repair is extremely error-prone. If the breaks need not be repaired to permit survival, then lethal lesions are a subset of or are completely different from mutagenic lesions.  相似文献

Sulfhydryl selective reactions were explored to conjugate oligomers of a peptidomimetic integrin alphavbeta3 antagonist, 4-[2-(3,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidine-2-ylamino)ethyloxy]benzoyl-2-(S)-aminoethylsulfonylamino-beta-alanine (IA) to monoclonal antibody (MoAb) to increase integrin alphavbeta3 receptor-binding avidity. To generate sulfhydryl groups, N-succinimidyl-S-acetylthioacetate (SATA) was conjugated to both MoAb and IA. Sulfhydryl groups were then generated upon the deacetylation of the protecting acetyl group from the S-acetylthioacetato (ATA) moiety of MoAb-(ATA)n or IA-ATA with 0.02 M hydroxylamine in the presence of 1 mM EDTA at pH 7.2. The major focus was on optimizing the reaction concentrations, molar ratios, and reaction pH to conjugate high levels of IA-(A-SH) to MoAb-(A-SH)n without causing the inter- and intramolecular cross-linking of MoAb. Stepwise reactions of MoAb-(A-SH)n (15 microM MoAb) with a homobifunctional cross-linker, 1,8-bis(maleimido)diethylene glycol (BM[PEO]2) at a >50x molar excess to the -SH, followed by the reaction of the purified product MoAb-(A-S-succinimidomaleimido-[PEO]2)n with IA-(A-SH) at pH 7.2 afforded monomeric MoAb-(A-S-succinimido-[PEO]2-succinimido-S-A-IA)n with <10% high molecular weight oligomeric MoAb. Monomeric MoAb-(A-S-S-[PEO]2-S-S-A-IA)10 (MoAb-IA10) radiolabeled with 111In using 2-(p-isothiocyanatobenzyl)cyclohexyl-DTPA and with 125I using the Iodogen method showed >70% bindability to 0.4 microM alphavbeta3. When injected iv to nude mice with the receptor-positive M21 tumor, MoAb-IA10 radiolabeled with both 111In and 125I accumulated rapidly and was retained in the tumor for a 44 h period while the radioactivity cleared rapidly from the blood, thereby resulting in increasing tumor-to-blood ratios over time. The tumor uptake was similar between the 125I label and the 111In label for a 44 h period. In contrast, the blood radioactivity was lower, but liver and other organ uptakes were much higher for the 111In label than for the 125I. The 111In label produced higher tumor-to-blood ratios but much lower tumor-to-organ ratios than the 125I. The rapid blood clearance, a short peak tumor uptake time, and a low peak tumor uptake value with prolonged tumor retention of this macromolecule appear to support a hypothesis that MoAb-IA10 primarily binds to alphavbeta3 receptors on angiogenic vessels, but not on the tumor. This hypothesis was substantiated by the fluorescence microscopic analysis of FITC-MoAb-IA10, which showed that FITC-MoAb-IA10 outlined neovasculatures but not tumor cells at 4 and 21 h ex vivo. Additional proof was observed when blood vessels outlined with rhodamine-lectin, which specifically binds to blood vessels, were superimposable on neovasculatures outlined with FITC-MoAb-IA10.  相似文献

Oxidized low-density lipoproteins (LDL) play a key role in the formation of atherosclerotic lesions of arteries. We analyzed the effect of hepatic resident macrophage (Kupffer cell) blockade on oxidized [125I]LDL accumulation in different organs and tissues of the rat. Kupffer cell blockade was induced by gadolinium chloride (GdCl3) which was injected intravenously 24 h prior to injection of oxidized [125I]LDL into the rats. Ten minutes after administration to intact animals, oxidized [125I]LDL was accumulated in the liver (86.8% of the dose administered), muscles (4.7%), spleen (2.1%), lungs (0.8%), kidney (0.6%), adrenal glands (0.2%), heart (0.15%), and thymus (0.04%). Kupffer cell blockade significantly decreased the clearance rate of oxidized [125I]LDL from the blood. Specific radioactivity (per g tissue) decreased in the liver (1.3-fold compared to control), but increased in the aorta (2.5-fold), heart (2-fold), lungs (1.6-fold), and kidney (1.3-fold). The results indicate that the accumulation of oxidized LDL in heart and aorta significantly depends on the functional state of the mononuclear phagocyte system in the liver.  相似文献

Natural killer (NK) cells and NK cell activities in the rhesus macaque have been incompletely characterized. Using a recently developed rhesus NK target cell line with down-regulated MHC-I (B116Lo) as stimulators and FACS-sorted cells as effectors in a 4-h [51Cr]-release assay we showed that the CD3-CD8lo subpopulation is the primary effector population for NK cell-mediated cytolysis. The majority of these cells co-express CD16, CD11b, NKG2D, and NKp46. To evaluate functional activity at the individual cell level, we employed intracellular cytokine staining and a flow cytometric assay for degranulation, based on cell surface CD107a expression. Flow cytometric analysis revealed that a greater proportion of NK cells degranulated than produced cytokines in response to B116Lo stimulation; the frequency of CD107a-expressing cells within the total NK cell population ranging from 5 to 39%. Somewhat surprisingly, we did not find a significant correlation between lysis, measured by [51Cr]-release assay, and the size of the degranulating NK cell population, implying that additional mechanisms may regulate lytic activity. Use of these approaches should facilitate an improved understanding of NK activity in the rhesus macaque.  相似文献

Bisphenol A, an environmental compound with estrogenic activity, has been shown to bind human sex steroid hormone-binding globulin (hSHBG), the main plasma transport protein which regulates the metabolism of androgens and estrogens and limits their access to target organs. The present study was conducted to determine whether physiologically relevant concentrations of hSHBG can influence the blood clearance rate of bisphenol A and its accumulation in the testes. A radioactive [2-125I]iodobisphenol tracer was synthesized with an association constant (Ka) for binding to hSHBG of 0.14 +/- 0.01 x 10(6) M(-1) at 37 degrees C, a value much lower than for [2-125I]iodoestradiol, which was also synthesized. We used i.v. injection of immunopurified hSHBG in adult male mice to maintain hSHBG levels within the physiologically possible range for humans (27-267 nM) before gavage administration of [2-125I]iodobisphenol or [2-125I]iodoestradiol, for measuring the blood clearance rate of radioactive signal in blood samples taken during the following 120 min. Testicular accumulation of radioactivity was measured 24 h and 48 h after gavage of [2-125]iodobisphenol A. In mice receiving immunopurified hSHBG or vehicle, the time-dependent blood clearance of radioactivity exhibited a bi-exponential decrease which indicated alpha-diffusion and beta-elimination phases for both radioactive ligands. The presence of circulating hSHBG significantly and dose-dependently lowered the clearance rate of radioactivity. However, much higher circulating levels of hSHBG were required to retard the blood clearance of [2-125I]iodobisphenol A as compared to those required for [2-125I]iodoestradiol, in keeping with the important difference in their respective Ka value for binding to SHBG. In addition, mice treated with hSHBG exhibited significantly (P = 0.036) reduced testicular accumulation of radioactivity 24 h and 48 h after ingestion of [2-125I]iodobisphenol A. Provided that the binding properties of bisphenol A for hSHBG are not substantially different from those measured for [2-125I]iodobisphenol A, these findings suggest that, although hSHBG binds 2-mono-iodobisphenol A with a relatively low binding affinity, high enough concentrations of circulating hSHBG (range concentrations between 85 and 267 nM) are potentially able to exert a protective effect against exposure to bisphenol A.  相似文献

The NK and K-cell activity of human leukocytes was investigated as compared with those cells of the K 562 cell line and murine cells covered by xenoantibodies in Graffi erythroblast leukaemia by means of the 51Cr release test. NK and K-cells could be identified in the blood and bone-marrow. However, they could not be identified in the thymus, lymph-nodes, and tonsils. Attempts of cell fraction with the blood of healthy donors revealed that the K-cells must be attributed to non-T-lymphocytes. NK-cells may be found in the fraction of non-T-lymphocytes as well as in that of T-lymphocytes. Killer cell activity tests in children with acute leukaemia resulted in leukaemia cells having NK and K-cell activity only in very rare cases. ALL patients in remission had strongly lowered NK-cell values under chemotherapy. In comparison to that, chemotherapy had no influence on K-cell activity. On the one hand, NK-cell activities were induced in mixed cultures of allogenous lymphocytes of the blood and, on the other hand, in cells of lymph-nodes. Attempts of fractionation, investigations for determining the influence of chemotherapy and attempts of inducing killer cell activity in vitro lead to the conclusion that NK and K-cells may be regarded as similar cell populations, being, however, not identical.  相似文献

Equine haptoglobin (Hp) and haptoglobin-haemoglobin complex (Hp-Hb) are metabolised in the hen parenchymal cells of the liver in which endocytosis was inhibited by agalacto-orosomucoid (AGOR) or native orosomucoid (OR). The intravenous administration of AGOR or OR together with [125I]Hp slightly decreased clearance of Hp from circulation. This suggested that heterologous Hp could be catabolised by the alternative pathway following the uptake by the liver RES cells. Administration of the [125I]Hp-Hb complex and AGOR was of no effect on the clearance of the Hp-Hb complex.  相似文献

O-(4-Diazo-3-[125I]iodobenzoyl)sucrose ([125I]DIBS), a novel labelling compound specifically designed to study the catabolic sites of serum proteins [De Jong, Bouma, & Gruber (1981) Biochem. J. 198, 45-51], was applied to study the tissue sites of degradation of serum lipoproteins. [125I]DIBS-labelled apolipoproteins (apo) E and A-I, added in tracer amounts to rat serum, associate with high-density lipoproteins (HDL) just like conventionally iodinated apo E and A-I. No difference is observed between the serum decays of chromatographically isolated [125I]DIBS-labelled and conventionally iodinated HDL labelled specifically in either apo E or apo A-I. When these specifically labelled HDLs are injected into fasted rats, a substantial [125I]DIBS-dependent 125I accumulation occurs in the kidneys and in the liver. No [125I]DIBS-dependent accumulation is observed in the kidneys after injection of labelled asialofetuin or human low-density lipoprotein. It is concluded that the kidneys and the liver are important sites of catabolism of rat HDL apo E and A-I.  相似文献

The renal catabolism of [125I]glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and [125I]glucagon-like peptide 2 (GLP-2) has been studied both in vivo, by the disappearance of these peptides from the plasma of bilaterally nephrectomized (BNX), ureteral-ligated (BUL) or normal rats, and in vitro, analyzing their catabolism by the isolated, perfused rat kidney. Results from in vivo studies demonstrated that half-disappearance time for both peptides was lower in controls than in BUL rats, and this value in BUL rats was not significantly different from that in BNX rats. In addition, metabolic clearance rate of GLP-1 was higher in control rats than in the other two groups of animals. Urinary clearance rate of both peptides was negligible. In isolated kidney experiments, values for organ clearance of both [125I]GLP-1 and [125I]GLP-2 were similar to those of inulin clearance, which represents the glomerular filtration rate. Urinary clearance of trichloroacetic acid precipitable radioactivity represented less than 1% of total clearance. In conclusion, these results demonstrate a significant role for the kidney in the plasma removal of [125I]GLP-1 and [125I]GLP-2 by a mechanism that involves glomerular filtration and tubular catabolism.  相似文献

Attempts were made to label tachykinin NK2 binding sites in the adult rat brain using [125I]neurokinin A (NKA) as ligand in the presence of NK1 and NK3 agonist or antagonist to avoid labelling of NK1 and NK3 binding sites, respectively. A high-affinity, specifically NK2-sensitive, [125I]NKA-binding, temperature-dependent, reversible, sensitive to GTPgammaS and correspondence to a single population of binding sites (K(D) and B(max) values: 2.2 nM and 7.3 fmol/mg protein) was demonstrated on hippocampal membranes. Competition studies performed with tachykinins and tachykinin-related compounds indicated that the pharmacological properties of these NK2-sensitive [125I]NKA binding sites were identical to those identified in the rat urinary bladder and duodenum. NKA, neuropeptide K, and neuropeptide gamma, as well as the potent and selective NK2 antagonists SR 144190, SR 48968 and MEN 10627, presented a nanomolar affinity for these sites. The regional distribution of these NK2-sensitive [125I]NKA binding sites differs markedly from those of NK1 and NK3 binding sites, with the largest labeling being found in the hippocampus, the thalamus and the septum. Binding in other brain structures was low or negligible. A preliminary autoradiographic analysis confirmed [125I]NKA selective binding in hippocampal CA1 and CA3 areas, particularly, and in several thalamic nuclei.  相似文献

Binding experiments performed with [(125)I]-NKA allowed us to demonstrate the presence of "septide-sensitive" specific binding sites on membranes from rat CHO cells transfected with the NK(1) receptor cDNA (CHO-rat-NK1 cells), human astrocytoma U373 MG, or mouse cortical astrocytes, cells which express NK(1) but neither NK(2) nor NK(3) receptors. In all cases, [(125)I]-NKA was specifically bound with high affinity (2 to 5 nM) to a single population of sites. In the three preparations, pharmacological characteristics of [(125)I]-NKA binding sites were notably different from those of classical NK(1) binding sites selectively labelled with [(125)I]-BHSP. Indeed, the endogenous tachykinins NKA, NPK, and NKB and the septide-like compounds such as septide, SP(6-11), ALIE-124, [Apa(9-10)]SP, or [Lys(5)]NKA(4-10) had a much higher affinity for [(125)I]-NKA than [(125)I]-BHSP binding sites. Interestingly, differences were also found in the ratio of B(max) values for [(125)I]-NKA and [(125)I]-BHSP specific bindings from one tissue to another. These latter observations suggest that these two types of NK(1) binding sites are present on distinct NK(1) receptor isoforms (or conformers). Finally, while several tachykinins and tachykinin-related compounds stimulated cAMP formation or increased inositol phosphate accumulation in CHO-rat-NK1 cells, these compounds only increased the accumulation of inositol phosphates in the two other preparations.  相似文献

In atherosclerotic lesions, macrophages are transformed into foam cells accumulating modified low density lipoproteins (LDL) via the scavenger receptor pathway. We have investigated the effects of carboxymethylated beta-1,3-glucan (CMG) on acetylated LDL (AcLDL) metabolism in murine peritoneal macrophages in vitro and upon the clearance of AcLDL by rat liver in vivo. In cultured murine peritoneal macrophages, CMG reduced substantially the AcLDL-induced synthesis of cholesteryl esters, decreased the binding and degradation of [125I]-AcLDL in a dose-dependent manner with complete inhibition at 20–30 nM , but had no effect on the binding and degradation of native [125I]–LDL. In contrast, other polysaccharides studied, namely zymosan, lipopolysaccharide, non-modified glucan and mannan Rhodexman, had a slight effect at concentrations significantly exceeding the concentrations of CMG. [125I]-AcLDL injected intravenously into rats was cleared from the blood with a half-life of 3.7 min. About 56 per cent of the label of injected [125I]-AcLDL was recovered in the liver 15 min after administration. Co-injection of the labelled AcLDL with CMG (25 mg kg?1 b.w.) decreased the rate of AcLDL clearance so that the half-life increased to 6.0 min. Injections of CMG (25 mg kg?1 b.w.) 48 and 24 h before the determination increased the rate of [125I]-AcLDL clearance (with a half-life of about 2.3 min) and increased the uptake of AcLDL by the liver. We suggest that CMG competed with AcLDL for scavenger receptors in vitro and in vivo and repeated CMG injections before the measurements of AcLDL resulted in the induction of scavenger receptor function.  相似文献

The plasma clearance and tissue distribution of radioiodinated low-density lipoprotein (LDL), beta-very low density lipoprotein (beta-VLDL), and acetoacetylated LDL were studied in cholesterol-fed rabbits. Radioiodinated LDL ([125I]LDL) was cleared more slowly than either [125I]beta-VLDL or acetoacetylated-[125I]LDL and its fractional catabolic rate was one-half that of [125I]beta-VLDL and one-ninth that of acetoacetylated-[125I]LDL. Forty-eight hours after the injection of the labeled lipoproteins, the hepatic uptake was the greatest among the organs evaluated with the uptake of [125I]LDL being one-third that of either [125I]beta-VLDL or acetoacetylated-[125I]LDL. The reduction in the hepatic uptake of LDL due to a down-regulation of the receptors would account for this retarded plasma clearance.  相似文献

Summary Rat lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells, generated by adhering rat splenocytes isolated from the 52% Percoll density fraction to plastic flasks, demonstrate restricted in vivo tissue distribution, localizing in the lungs and liver after 2 h, but redistributing into the liver and spleen 24 h after i.v. administration. However, a different pattern of distribution was observed when this population of LAK cells was labeled with one of four commonly used radioisotopes. For example, LAK cells showed a high distribution into the lungs 30 min after administration when labeled with51Cr,125I-dUrd or111In-oxine, whereas111InCl-labeled LAK cells showed an equal distribution into the blood, lungs and liver at this time. Two hours after administration, cells labeled with111In-oxine showed an equivalent distribution into the lungs and liver, those labeled with125I-dUrd or51Cr showed a high accumulation in the lungs, whereas those labeled with111In-Cl entered more into the liver and blood. The pattern of distribution of111In-Cl- or111In-oxine-labeled cells was confirmed using gamma camera imaging analysis. By 24 h, LAK cells labeled with111InCl,111In-oxine or51Cr distributed in the liver and spleen in variable concentrations. In contrast, cells labeled with125I-dUrd were not detected in any organ tested.This study was paralleled by monitoring the distribution of LAK cells labeled with Hoechst 33342 (H33342) and analyzed for the presence of fluoresceinated cells in different organs either by flow cytometry analysis, or in frozen section. The data indicate that the distribution pattern of LAK cells labeled with111In-oxine is the closest to the distribution of H33342-labeled cells. Of all the radioisotopes used,125I-dUrd has the most disadvantages and is not recommended for monitoring the in vivo distribution of leukocytes.  相似文献

Normal human T cells grown in continued cultures in medium containing conditioned medium (CM) from PHA-stimulated lymphocytes were studied for their ability to manifest three known forms of cell-mediated cytotoxicity: lectin-induced cellular cytotoxicity (LICC), natural killer cell (NK) activity, and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). The cultured T cells (CTC) were very effective mediators of LICC, being cytotoxic even at very low attacker-target cell ratios in the presence of different lectins, and against different types of targets. When tested without the addition of lectin, the CTC demonstrated a low degree of spontaneous cytotoxicity. This spontaneous cytotoxicity might not be due to conventional NK cells however, since the CTC failed to show significant numbers of cells with Fc receptors (FcR) for IgG, and had no detectable ADCC activity. CTC could represent a population enriched in polyclonal activated T cells with low spontaneous cytotoxicity against a variety of allogeneic target cells, which is greatly enhanced by the addition of lectins dur ing the 51Cr release assay.  相似文献

Oestrogen as an inhibitor of human NK cell cytolysis   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
Natural killer (NK) cells are large granular lymphocytes attributed with the ability to lyse certain tumour cells. Previous studies on NK cells have demonstrated only an in vivo suppression of NK cell activity by 17 beta-oestradiol. The suppressive action of oestrogen on other peroxidase-containing leukocytes by virtue of its redox potential has already been documented. In the present study oestrogen suppressed NK cell cytolysis in vitro (determined by the release of [51Cr]chromate from radiolabelled cells) in a dose-dependent manner (p less than 0.01). Parallel experiments demonstrated a similar reduction in NK cell luminol chemiluminescence during activation by K562 tumour cells. Therefore, it would appear that there may be an association between NK cell lysis and their peroxidase/oxygenase activity.  相似文献

Renal localization of radiolabeled antibody fragments constitutes a problem in targeted imaging and radiotherapy. Recently, we reported use of a novel radioiodination reagent, 3'-[131I]iodohippuryl N(epsilon)-maleoyl-L-lysine (HML), that liberates m-iodohippuric acid before antibody fragments are incorporated into renal cells. In mice, HML-conjugated Fab demonstrated low renal radioactivity levels from early postinjection times. In this study, renal metabolism of HML-conjugated Fab fragments prepared by different thiolation chemistries and by direct radioiodination were investigated to determine the mechanisms responsible for the low renal radioactivity levels. Fab fragments were thiolated by 2-iminothiolane modification or by reduction of disulfide bonds in the Fab fragments, followed by conjugation with radioiodinated HML to prepare [131I]HML-IT-Fab and [125I]HML-Fab, respectively. In biodistribution studies in mice, both [131I]HML-IT-Fab and [125I]HML-Fab demonstrated significantly lower renal radioactivity levels than those of [125I]Fab. In subcellular distribution studies, [125I]Fab showed migration of radioactivity from the membrane to the lysosomal fraction of the renal cells from 10 to 30 min postinjection. On the other hand, the majority of the radioactivity was detected only in the membrane fraction at the same time points after injection of both [131I]HML-IT-Fab and [125I]HML-Fab. In metabolic studies, while [125I]Fab remained intact at 10 min postinjection, both HML-conjugated Fab fragments generated m-iodohippuric acid as a radiometabolite at the same postinjection time. [131I]HML-IT-Fab registered two radiometabolites (intact [131I]HML-IT-Fab and m-iodohippuric acid), whereas additional radiometabolites were observed with [125I]HML-Fab. This suggested that metabolism of both HML-conjugated Fab fragments would occur in the membrane fractions of the renal cells. The findings of this study reinforced our previous hypothesis that radiochemical design of antibody fragments that liberate radiometabolites that are excreted into the urine by the action of brush border enzymes would constitute a useful strategy to reduce renal radioactivity levels from early postinjection times.  相似文献

 LL2 is an anti-CD22 pan-B-cell monoclonal antibody which, when radiolabeled, has a high sensitivity for detecting B-cell, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL), as well as an antitumor efficacy in therapeutic applications. The aim of this study was to determine whether intracellularly retained radiolabels have an advantage in the diagnosis and therapy of lymphoma with LL2. In vitro studies showed that iodinated LL2 is intracellularly catabolized, with a rapid release of the radioiodine from the cell. In contrast, residualizing radiolabels, such as radioactive metals, are retained intracellularly for substantially longer. In vivo studies were performed using LL2-labeled with radioiodine by a non-residualizing (chloramine-T) or a residualizing method (dilactitol-tyramine, DLT), or with a radioactive metal (111In). The biodistribution of a mixture of 125I (non-residualizing chloramine-T compared to residualizing DLT), 111In-labeled LL2 murine IgG2a or its fragments [F(ab′)2, Fab′], as well as its humanized, CDR-grafted form, was studied in nude mice bearing the RL human B-cell NHL cell line. Radiation doses were calculated from the biodistribution data according to the Medical International Radiation Dose scheme to assess the potential advantage for therapeutic applications. At all assay times, tumor uptake was higher with the residualizing labels (i.e., 111In and DLT-125I) than with the non-residualizing iodine label. For example, tumor/blood ratios of 111In-labeled IgG were 3.2-, 3.5- and 2.8-fold higher than for non-residualizing iodinated IgG on days 3, 7 and 14, respectively. Similar results were obtained for DLT-labeled IgG and fragments with residualized radiolabels. Tumor/organ ratios also were higher with residualizing labels. No significant differences in tumor, blood and organ uptake were observed between murine and humanized LL2. The conventionally iodinated anti-CD20 antibody, 1F5, had tumor uptake values comparable to those of iodinated LL2, the uptake of both antibodies being strongly dependent on tumor size. These data suggest that, with internalizing antibodies such as LL2, labeling with intracellularly retained isotopes has an advantage over released ones, which justifies further clinical trials with residualizing 111In-labeled LL2 for diagnosis, and residualizing 131I and 90Y labels for therapy.
