FIGURE 2. Biodistribution of radiolabeled bivalent peptides: 111In-L-a.a. peptide (A), 111In-D-a.a. peptide (B), 125I-L-a.a. peptide (C), and 125I-D-a.a. peptide (D). After pretargeting of SK-RC-52 tumor-bearing mice with 15 µg bs-mAb G250xDTIn-1, 72 h later mice were injected intravenously with 6 ng peptide. Mice were killed at various time points after injection of radiolabel and biodistribution was determined. Uptake is expressed as %ID/g (mean ± SD).

FIGURE 3. Biodistribution of 111In label (A) and 125I label (B) in tumor-bearing mice, pretargeted with 15 µg 111In-/125I-labeled bs-mAb G250xDTIn-1. Seventy-two hours later, 2 groups of mice were injected intravenously with 6 ng bivalent peptide (groups 3 and 4, DTPA chelates loaded with unlabeled indium). Mice were killed at various time points after injection of radiolabel (Table 1) and biodistribution was determined. Uptake is expressed as %ID/g (mean ± SD).
