title: Determination of the lysosomal role in tumor accumulation of 67Ga by dual-tracer studies.
abstract: The lysosomal role in tumor accumulation of 67Ga was determined by dual-tracer (67Ga and 46Sc) studies. It became clear that 67Ga essentially did not accumulate in the tumor lysosome, and that the lysosome did not play a major role in tumor accumulation of 67Ga. In addition, it was revealed that tumor lysosome was hardly disrupted at all in some phases of fractionation procedures.
