    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Sciences
    • Cell Biology
    • Nuclear Medicine

    Background:

    • Accurate labeling of human leukocytes is crucial for various biomedical research applications.
    • Existing labeling methods may impact cell function or efficiency.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate a new method for labeling human leukocytes with technetium-99m pertechnetate.
    • To assess the functional integrity of labeled leukocytes.

    Main Methods:

    • Human blood sedimentation in dextran solution.
    • Red blood cell removal using ammonium chloride (NH4Cl).
    • Leukocyte incubation with Sn-pyrophosphate and labeling with 99mTc pertechnetate.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved a leukocyte labeling efficiency of approximately 30%.

  • Electron microscopy confirmed normal cellular appearance post-labeling.
  • Functional assays (phagocytosis, oxygen consumption, iodination, chemotaxis) showed no significant differences between labeled and unlabeled cells.

    • Conclusions:

    • The described method provides satisfactory labeling of human leukocytes.
    • Labeled leukocytes retain normal morphology and functional activity.
    • This technique is suitable for applications requiring functional leukocyte assessment.
