title: Synthesis of a monoclonal antibody-indium-111-porphyrin conjugate.
abstract: Antibodies were labelled with indium-111 with a view to their use in the radio-immunodetection of cancers. The covalent coupling between indium-111 porphyrin and monoclonal antibodies (IgG and F(ab')2 fragment) was achieved using the ester activated method [N-hydroxy-succinimide/1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide]. After purification, this provided conjugated with specific activities of 6 muCi/micrograms Mab (9.3 molecules per Mab) or 1 muCi/microgram (F(ab')2 fragment (1.5 molecule per F(ab')2). ELISA procedures suggested the full retention of immunoreactivity by the radiolabelled antibodies.
