Abstract:Technetium-99m-labelled immunoglobulin G (99mTc-IgG) is a convenient and useful radio-pharmaceutical for the scintigraphic detection of inflammatory foci. However, unfavourable physiological biodistribution patterns such as high activities in the liver and especially in the kidneys impede the efficacy of this agent. This report describes biodistribution studies in the baboon model of various thiol reduction-mediated 99mTc-labelled immunoglobulins, including human IgG preparations (Sandoglobulin and Sigma: gamm… Show more
