Extracorporeal whole blood immunoadsorption (ECIA) accelerates the clearance of radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) without significantly affecting tumor uptake by removing the excess of these mAbs from the blood, thus increasing tumor:normal tissue (T:N) ratios. The present study is focused on comparing the capacity of ECIA in tumor targeting with the same mAb (chiBR96-biotin) labeled with either (111)In or 125I. Forty-five Brown Norwegian rats with syngeneic rat colon carcinoma isografted both in liver and intramuscularly were used. chiBR96 is a highly tumor-specific mAb directed against the Lewis-type antigen. ECIA of whole blood was started 15 h after the injection of 125I- or (111)In-labeled BR96-biotin. The procedure lasted for 2 h and was repeated for (111)In-labeled BR96-biotin in a few rats after 3 or 24 h. ECIA reduced the whole body activity by the same magnitude (between 39% and 52%), irrespective of whether (111)In- or 125I-labeled chiBR96 was used. A similar observation was also made for the reduction in blood radioactivity after ECIA (79-94%). Time-activity curves during ECIA showed that the major reduction (approximately 85%) in blood radioactivity occurred during the first 45-60 min. Repeating the ECIA with (111)In-BR96 caused only an additional minimal reduction of blood activity, whereas a further reduction of whole body activity of 14-20% was achieved. The T:N uptake ratios were significantly enhanced immediately after ECIA with (111)In- or 125I-labeled chiBR96. Due to greater accumulation of (111)In-BR96 in tumors, a long-term improvement in T:N ratios was obtained after ECIA compared with 125I-labeled BR96. Our results therefore indicate that (111)In/(90Y)-labeled BR96-biotin could be more advantageous than 125I/131I for radioimmunotargeting/radioimmunotherapy in combination with ECIA due to better activity retention by the tumor. |
