Leukocyte labeling with technetium-99m tin colloids.

B H Mock, D English

    Journal of Nuclear Medicine : Official Publication, Society of Nuclear Medicine
    |September 1, 1987
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study shows that technetium-99m tin colloid labeling of leukocytes is most effective using leukocyte-rich plasma, with labeling occurring via adherence. Labeled neutrophils performed normally, but mononuclear leukocytes showed altered lung transit.

    Area of Science:

    • Nuclear medicine
    • Hematology
    • Radiopharmaceutical chemistry

    Background:

    • Accurate labeling of human leukocytes with technetium-99m (99mTc) radiocolloids is crucial for in vivo imaging and diagnostic applications.
    • Understanding the precise mechanism and efficiency of leukocyte labeling is essential for optimizing radiopharmaceutical development.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To characterize the distribution of 99mTc tin colloid labels in human leukocyte preparations.
    • To determine the optimal conditions for specific leukocyte labeling using 99mTc tin colloid.

    Main Methods:

    • Triple density gradients of metrizamide in plasma (MP) were employed to analyze label distribution.
    • Human leukocyte preparations were incubated with 99mTc stannous fluoride colloid ([Tc]SFC) and 99mTc stannous chloride colloid under various conditions (heparinized blood, leukocyte-rich plasma, presence/absence of citrate).

    Main Results:

    • Labeling efficiency averaged 44% in leukocyte-rich plasma (LRP), with over 90% specifically bound to leukocytes.
    • Labeling was significantly less efficient (<50%) in heparinized blood and did not occur with stannous chloride colloid or in the presence of citrate.
    • Citrate addition post-labeling removed radiocolloid from leukocytes, suggesting adherence, not phagocytosis, as the labeling mechanism.
    • Technetium-labeled neutrophils showed normal in vitro chemotaxis and no in vivo lung uptake.
    • Technetium-labeled mononuclear leukocytes exhibited prolonged lung transit in vivo.

    Conclusions:

    • Leukocyte labeling with 99mTc stannous fluoride colloid is most efficient and specific in leukocyte-rich plasma via an adherence mechanism.
    • While labeled neutrophils retain normal function, labeled mononuclear leukocytes demonstrate altered biodistribution.
    • These findings are critical for the development of targeted radiopharmaceuticals for leukocyte imaging.
