/sup 111/In-tropolone (In-tr) is being evaluated because of its greater affinity for platelets in plasma than /sup 111/In-oxine (In-ox). Platelets separated from a 50 ml blood sample were labeled with In-tr in 2 ml autologous plasma and In-ox in 4 ml ACD-saline. 10 blood samples starting at 1 hr were obtained over a 8 day period. Platelet survival was calculated based on linear, exponential and multi hit analysis. The life-span of platelets measured by tropolone and oxine methods were compared in the same 8 normal human subjects and were performed 2 months apart. With In-tr, the platelet recovery is higher at 1 hr and throughout the 8-days and the gamma camera images showed less uptake in liver and spleen than In-ox. In addition, linear model is the best fit (63%) with a life-span equal or slightly longer than In-ox. Linear model is the best fit (100%) with In-ox and the multiple hit analysis also showed significantly higher number of hits (34) compared to In-tr (15). There is no correlation between in vivo recovery of /sup 111/In-platelets (tropolone or oxine) and the platelet life span. These results show that even though the platelet life span is not significantly altered by labeling method, they are better preserved in circulation when labeled with In-tr.
