title: [Basic studies on the 111In labeled antisense oligonucleotide for tumor imaging].
abstract: Antisense oligonucleotide labeled with short lived radionuclide has been proposed as a radiopharmaceutical for the detection of abnormal gene expression. In this study, plausibility of 32P or 111In labeled oligonucleotide was basically evaluated using c-erbB-2 protooncogene mRNA as a model target. In cell uptake studies, sequence specific accumulation of 32P-oligonucleotide was found in the cells with c-erbB-2 mRNA expression, but not control cells, indicating the basic possibility of antisense strategy. Synthesis of 111In labeled isothiocyanobenzyl-EDTA (IBE)-oligonucleotide could be performed, but some problems were found in purification step. Stability of 111In-IBE-oligonucleotide was high when compared with that of 32P-oligonucleotide, and in vivo biodistribution data might indicate that 111In-IBE-oligonucleotide was plausible for tumor imaging.
