The accurate determination of the biodistribution of radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) is important for calculation of dosimetry and evaluation of pharmacokinetic variables such as antibody dose and route of administration. A major long-term objective of this proposal is to determine the utility of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) for quantifying the biodistribution of monoclonal antibodies labeled with the clinically relevant radionuclides iodine-123 (I-123) and indium-111 (In-111). The specific aims of this project include the comparison of the effects of three methods of radiolabeling anticarcinoembryonic antigen (CEA-110) --- iodination by Iodogen, the tin-containing ester methods and an indium chelate method --- on the immunoreactivity and affinity of the antibody. The biodistribution of anti-CEA labeled by the three methods will be compared in tumor bearing and normal mice. Subsequent studies of the pharmacokinetics of I-123 and In-111 labeled anti-CEA will be determined by SPECT in non-human primates. The errors associated with the SPECT measurements will be assessed with Monte Carlo simulations and by scanning phantoms containing I-123 or In-111 activity in regions of uniform and nonuniform attenuation. The ability of SPECT to quantify I-123 and In-111 distributions will be assessed, and new acquisition geometries and reconstruction algorithms for improved quantification will be evaluated. 8 figs., 4 tabs.
