Prevention of renal tubule re-absorption of radiometal (indium-111) labelled Fab fragment of a monoclonal antibody in mice by systemic administration of lysine.
Systemic administration of lysine to mice injected with indium-111-labelled Fab fragment of a monoclonal antibody has been shown to reduce renal uptake/retention of the radiometal. This treatment should be applicable to clinical immunoscintigraphy and radioimmunotherapy with radiometal-labelled antibody fragments.
