Tumor Localization of Radio-Labeled Antibodies against Carcinoembryonic Antigen in Patients with Carcinoma

Abstract: Purified, [131I]-labeled goat antibodies against carcinoembryonic antigen, which have been shown to localize in human carcinoma in nude mice, were injected into 27 patients with carcinoma. Patients were scanned with a scintillation camera at various intervals. In 11 patients, radioactivity was detectable in the tumor 48 hours after injection. Computerized subtraction of blood-pool radioactivity provided clearer pictures in positive cases, but in 16 patients the scans remained doubtful or negative. To study the… Show more

“…Recent reports have demonstrated variable removal of covalently bound 125I from injected proteins, raising the possibility of inaccuracies in t/2 measurements for the relevant proteins (40,41). In view of this, experiments were performed to evaluate the proportions of 1251 counts circulating in free form, and protein-bound, as judged by gel filtration of samples obtained sequentially after injection.…”

“…Immunoscintigraphy of from ascites by affinity chromatography on a protein Atumours in patients has primarily been successful in Sepharose column (Pharmacia, Uppsala, Sweden). F(ab')2 melanoma (Larson et al, 1985;Siccardi et al, 1986), fragments of TP-1 were obtained by digestion with pepsin colorectal cancer (Mach et al, 1980;Mach et al, 1983; for 8 h using a pepsin/IgG ratio of 3/100 (weight/weight) Chatal et al, 1985), and ovarian cancer (Epenetos et al, (Parham, 1983. So far less work has been reported on the The purity of the antibody preparations was checked by disgnostic use of MoAbs in sarcoma patients (Armitage et polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (Laemmli, 1970), and by al., 1986;Greager et al, 1986).…”

“…Radiolabelled monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) are used for the diagnosis and the therapy of cancer and some benign diseases (Mach et al, 1980;Locher et al, 1986;CourtenayLuck et al, 1984). Production of the human anti-murine antibody (HAMA) is one of the most serious problems as far as murine MAbs are concerned.…”
