Labeling of erythrocytes with 103Ru-ruthenium red.
The preparation of 103Ru-ruthenium red and its use in the labeling of erythrocytes is described. Since in vivo and electrophoretic studies indicate that the tag is firmly bound to the cell, this technique appears to be very convenient for spleen scintigraphy and for the study of the in vivo fate of tagged cells.
