The effect of para vs meta substitution on the biological behavior of an intact antibody and an F(ab')2 fragment was investigated. Paired-label studies were performed using 81C6 IgG and OC 125 F(ab')2 labeled using the N-succinimidyl esters of both p-[125I]- and m-[131I]iodobenzoate as well as with the potential catabolites, p-[125I]- and m-[131I]iodobenzoic acid. In all 3 studies, up to 55% lower uptake of 131I in thyroid and stomach was observed, suggesting that the m-substituted species were more inert to dehalogenation in vivo.
