Chelates and antibodies: Current methods and new directions

  • Chapter
Cancer Imaging with Radiolabeled Antibodies

Part of the book series: Cancer Treatment and Research ((CTAR,volume 51))

Abstract

The first labeling of antibodies with radioactive isotopes was reported by Pressman [1] in 1948. A radioiodine was employed. Over the next two decades, extensive development of the chemistry of iodination methods and the general utility of iodine-based radioimmunoassays resulted in radioiodination becoming a familiar tool in most biochemistry laboratories. Thus, shortly after the development of monoclonal antibodies by Kohler and Milstein [2], these exquisitely specific immunoproteins were soon being explored as vehicles for targeting of iodine radionuclides to tumors for gamma camera imaging or for therapy [3,4].
