title: Chelating agents for the binding of metal ions to antibodies.
abstract: The development and applications of bifunctional chelating agents are reviewed, with emphasis on the preparation of radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies suitable for use in vivo. Major principles and practical aspects of the chemical procedures are outlined, and new results of interest for future work are described.
