title: Blood cell labelling techniques: state of the art.
abstract: A critical survey has been given of recent developments in the technique of cell labelling. The ideal characteristics of the radionuclide, as well as the complexing substance, carrying the nuclide inside the cell are formulated. The importance of limiting the radiation dose, cellular radiosensitivity, as well as the quality control of the final cellular suspension are emphasized.
