Abstract
Technetium-99m labeling of antibodies has been suboptimal because of low affinity adventitious binding, nonspecific labeling, and loss of immunoreactivity. The diamide dithiolate ligand system (N2S2) forms highly stable, well-defined tetradentate complexes with Tc(V). Antibodies and their fragments have been labeled by conjugation of preformed 99mTc-4,5-bis(thioacetamido)pentanoate active ester to protein amine groups to give a chemically known 99mTc-N2S2 complex covalently linked to antibody. Evaluations of the 99mTc-N2S2-bound antibodies and their fragments have shown high stability and retained immunoreactivity.
