Title: Investigation of protein binding of radiogallium. Progress report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5569126

The main objective of the contract is to study aspects of the localization of gallium-67 in tumor are reported and compared with a new tumor imaging agent, specifically radiolabeled monoclonal tumor antibody. Our studies have demonstrated that phosphate compounds used in bone imaging do not significantly influence gallium-67 localization, that the adenosine triphosphate cannot be used to enhance gallium-67 uptake in malignant tissue, and that gallium-67 has higher affinity than radiolabeled anti-p97 for melanoma, even in tumors which produce significant amounts of p97 antigen on their cell surface. 23 refs., 17 figs., 5 tabs.
