Abstract
In the last years increasing numbers of patients have being given murine monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) for radioimmunodetection (RID) and for immunotherapy. Especially, since the introduction of the immunoscintigraphy of infections (Locher 1986) antigranulocytes antibodies (AGAb) are administered in a rapidly growing scale for RID of infections and bone metastasis. Due to this, the problem of the potential human immunoreaction against murine Mabs, i.e. production of HAMA (human antimouse antibodies) has become more relevant (Courtenay-Luck 1986, Schroff 1985), because HAMA may influence the diagnostic outcome of immunoscintigraphy (Hertel 1990, Pimm 1985, van Kroonenburgh 1988). Despite that, in the recent literature there are only poor reports on HAMA follow-up in patients undergoing immunoscintigraphy of infections (Lind 1990). So we evaluated the clinical relevance of HAMA, and its determination in a larger number of patients by using various and differently labeled antigranulocytes antibodies.
