Abstract

Biodistribution of monoclonal antibody T43 and its F(ab′)2 111In-DTPA conjugates were determined in nu/nu mice bearing human breast tumor and rat pituitary tumor xenografts. T43 localized in the target tumor with tumor blood ratios of 3.9 (P < 0.01) and 4.5 (P < 0.05) at 48 and 72 h, respectively. T43 F(ab′)2 fragments localized with tumor blood ratio of 14.2 (P <0.1) at 72 h. Tumors as small as 4mm were detected without computer subtraction technique. These studies suggest that T43 and T43 F(ab′)2 might be useful reagents in radioimaging.
