title: Effect of emulsion concentration on biodistribution of perflubron in tumor-bearing mice.
abstract: Perflubron (perfluoroocytlbromide, PFOB) emulsion concentrations of 100%, 90%, or 60% w/v were administered to mice with and without 3 types of murine malignant tumor implants, and the distribution in blood, tumor, lung, liver and spleen were studied 48 hours after a dose of 10 or 3 g/Kg of PFOB. The most important changes were seen in the blood where the PFOB concentration [PFOB] was decreased in tumor bearing mice (TBM). Blood [PFOB] was also decreased in TBM and normal mice (NM) that received the 60% emulsion. Liver [PFOB] was increased in TBM. Lung [PFOB] was directly proportional to the emulsion concentration with the 10g/Kg dose. No major differences were seen in the biodistribution between the 100% and 90% emulsions using 10g/Kg, in spite of differences in composition and manufacturing history.
