Use of indium-111 as a red cell label

Transfusion
James P AuBuchon, A Brightman

Abstract

To select the most promising 111In chelate for use as a second red cell (RBC) label for comparison of the survival of autologous and allogeneic cells, 49 normal RBC samples were studied in vitro after being labeled with 111In-8-hydroxyquinolinol (111In-oxine) prepared by three different methods, 111In-tropolone, and 111In-acetylacetone. Labeling efficiencies reached 99 percent and did not decline when the amount of 111In used was increased from 1.75 to 50 muCi per ml of RBCs. Storage of labeled RBCs in normal AB plasma at 4, 22, and 37 degrees C for up to 48 hours resulted in a similar rate of loss of the label from the RBCs with all labeling methods. These rates were time- and temperature-dependent and were accurate predictions of the rates found in later in vivo experimentation. Fresh RBCs from 11 subjects were labeled with 111In chelated with oxine in the presence of the RBCs or chelated with tropolone just prior to the labeling. RBC mass determinations using these autologous RBCs labeled with 111In accurately reflected the subjects' RBC masses as predicted through standard morphometric formulae. The rate of disappearance of the radionuclide after reinfusion of the autologous RBCs decreased with time. At 24 hours after reinf...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.
