Simplified and efficient labeling of human platelets in plasma using indium-111-2-mercaptopyridine-N-oxide: preparation and evaluation
A water soluble sodium salt of 2-mercaptopyridine-N-oxide (Merc) was evaluated that quantitatively chelated /sup 111/In at a pH range 0.7 to 7.4, and allowed greater than 80% incorporation of /sup 111/In in platelets in plasma. This was dependent on pH, Merc concentration, and platelet concentration. Platelets were labeled using either preformed (/sup 111/In)Merc or incubating platelets with 2.5 ..mu..g dry Merc first and then with /sup 111/In. The latter method provided a simple kit procedure that labeled platelets with negligible alteration of in vitro aggregability. In dogs, labeled platelets had normal survival (7.5 days), 66% recovery, detected vascular thrombi, and pulmonary emboli by scintigraphy. In the kit procedure, the use of Merc compared favorably to that of oxine and tropolone.
