Abstrakt: The iron-chelating agent desferrioxamine caused approximately 10-fold reductions in 67Ga vascular concentrations and substantial (~ × 2) reductions in 67Ga concentrations of other tissues when injected iv into mice at 2 hr after 67Ga injection. Given 48 hr post 67Ga however, its only noteworthy effect was on the vascular compartment. Tumor was distinguished from other soft tissues by high concentrations of cell-bound 67Ga, of which an appreciable fraction could be chelated and cleared by desferrioxamine given 2 hr after 67Ga. This fraction diminished with time and, at 48 hr, desferrioxamine caused no significant clearance of tumor-bound 67Ga.
