Abstract

The anti CD20 antibody Rituximab was conjugated with para isothiocyanato benzyl diethylene triamine penta acetic acid (p-NCS-Bz-DTPA) and subsequent radiolabeling with 99mTc was carried out via the 99mTc carbonyl synthon. The 99mTc labeled antibody conjugate exhibited >95% radiochemical purity after purification and retained good in vitro stability when studied up to 24h at room temperature. In vitro cell binding studies carried out in Raji cells expressing CD20 antigen validated the biological efficacy of the preparation.
