IRRADIATION OF LYMPH NODES

OSTI ID:4724831
A method was sought for the irradiation of lymph nodes. Bi/sup 206/ attached to denatured protein and injected subcutaneously gave a high concentration of activity in draining lymph nodes and in kidney. Also, some activity remained at or near the site of injection. This offers a possible method of irradiating draining lymph nodes, either to reduce the immunological response for grafting or for radiotherapy. Factors affecting lymph node uptake are discugsed. Bi/sup 206/ protein has advantages over Au/sup 198/, since as a pure gamma emitter it would give a more uniform dose for radiotherapy of an organ with uneven uptake, and this might be particularly important if uptake is low in diseased parts of lymph nodes. For a diagnostic test it would do less damage to healthy tissue. (TCO)
