Iodine-125 as a Protein Label in Immunology

Journal Article · · Science
Advantages of using I125 as a protein label in immunology are given. The 60-day half-life provides long shelf life for labeled materials, and the low energy dissipation rate, approximately 15% that of I131, greatly reduces radiation damage to tagged compounds. Formalin-killed Salmonella typhosa bacilli were iodinated with I125 and injected intravenously into rats. Tissues sampled for measurement of radioactivity and for autoradiography showed an average of 77% of the injected radioactivity was present in the liver and 2.5% in the spleen.
