Development of a method to selectively label platelets in whole blood in vitro or in vivo is a highly desirable goal. The authors have investigated the labeling with I-123, I-131, and In-111 of an IgG/sub 1/ monoclonal antibody, 7E3 (MAb) that specifically inhibits the interaction of dog platelets with fibrinogen-coated beads and blocks ADP-induced aggregation of dog platelets. The MAb, typically 100 ..mu..g, was radioiodinated using the chloramine T method. Following a G-25 or P-6 column purification, labeling yields of approx. =70% were achieved (2 I/MAb). The MAb-DTPA conjugate was labeled with In-111 in >80% yields with a specific activity of 10-30 ..mu..Ci/..mu..g (approx. =0.1 In/MAb). Retention of inhibiting activity in the fibrinogen-coated bead assay was excellent for both I-123 and In-111 labeled 7E3. In dogs, the blood pool activity persisted for up to 24 hr and some urinary excretion (In-111) and deiodination (I-123) were observed in vivo. When In-111-MAb was incubated with whole blood (0.13 ..mu..g/ml) and the mixture then clotted with thrombin (l..mu../ml), 68% of the radioactivity remained with the clot despite repeated washing. Preliminary in vivo data in dogs suggest that the label becomes localized at the site of vascular injury and/or thrombus formation. The authors conclude that radiolabeled monoclonal anti-platelet antibodies may show promise for imaging vascular lesions and thrombi.
