Abstract

AIM:To study the radioimmunoimaging (RAII) using the human/mouse chimeric Ab to evaluate its targeting activity in animal models.METHODS: To chimeric Ab was labeled with (131)I. RAII was performed at different intervals after injection of radio-labeled Abs in nude mice with human hepatoma xenograft, and tissue distribution of radioactivity was measured. Comparison was made in the chimeric Ab between the single segment Ab and previous murine mAb against HBxAg.RESULTS: The experimental objects developed tumor-positive image after 2 days of radio-labeled Abs injection, and the peak accumulation of radioactivity fell on the 7th day. The tumor/liver ratioactivity of the chimeric Ab, single segment Ab, anti-HBx mAb, and the control group was 2.81 ± 0.21, 2.44±0.16, 4.60± 0.19, and 0.96 ±0.14, respectively.CONCLUSION: The genetic engineering Abs have a considerable targeting activity which can be used as a novel humanized vector in the targeting treatment of liver cancer.
