Tumor radioimmunolocalization in a murine system using monoclonal antibodies

Abstract

Tumor localization was obtained in a murine system by use of 131I-labeled monoclonal antibodies, both of IgG and IgM class. The A6 IgG2 monoclonal antibody (which recognizes the gp70 of MuLV) and the B3 IgM monoclonal antibody (which recognizes a proteic structure widely exposed on chemically induced tumors), which both manifest an in vitro cytotoxic activity for various types of murine lymphomas, were injected in tumor-bearing (B6 X BALB/c)F1 mice and B6 mice, respectively, at the dose of 1 microgram per mouse. The radioactivity count demonstrated an optimal tumor accumulation of the radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies 96 h after iodine injection, although an initial accumulation was already present 48 h after injection. The scanning detection was less sensitive, since at 48 h no tumor localization was possible. In the experiments with the A6 antibody, the presence of the gp70 in the circulating form, demonstrated by the detection of immunocomplexes in kidney and spleen of tumor-bearing mice injected with the A6, did not prevent radioactivity accumulation in the tumor. This accumulation was found to increase with tumor size only up to 1 g of tumor weight, then a decreased binding index was observed, whereas in the kidney the ac...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
