Abstract
The tissue localization of a radiolabeled monoclonal antibody directed against a mouse Class I major histocompatibility antigen has been determined in mice following i.v. and s.c. administration. When labeled antibody was given s.c., radioactivity rapidly accumulated in regional lymph nodes draining the injection site, allowing visualization of the nodes by 7 camera imaging within minutes of injection. At 2 h after s.c. injection, radioactivity in regional nodes was present largely as intact antibody, but considerable degradation of antibody present in nodes was noted by 12 h after injection. Since little of the radioactivity reached the blood stream, visualization of regional nodes was possible for long periods after dosing. In contrast, antibody given i.v. showed no significant accumulation in lymph nodes at any time after dosing.
