Radioimmunotherapy (RIT) uses an antibody labeled with a radionuclide to deliver cytotoxic radiation to a target tumor cells. Radioiodine is most commonly employed to prepare radiolabeled proteins (antibodies, peptides) for in vitro and in vivo applications. A major shortcoming of radioiodinated proteins prepared by direct labeling methods is their deiodination in vivo. For the preparation of m...

Hydrogen cyanide is often the most toxicologically significant component in fire effluents from nitrogen-containing materials. Unlike other major asphyxiant, carbon monoxide, sensors for continuous hydrogen quantification, at and above dangerous concentrations, are not commercially available. This article investigates analysis of effluent captured bubbler solutions, by colorimetric quantificati...

A kinetic study of oxidation of a potent local anaesthetic chloroprocaine hydrochloride by sodium Nhalo-p-toluenesulfonamides (chloramine-T and bromamine-T) has been carried in HClO4 medium at 303 K. The rate shows a first-order dependence on both [oxidant]o, and [substrate]o, and a fractional-order dependence on acid concentration. Increase in the rate of reaction has been observed with decrea...

antibodies are a diverse class of glycoproteins that specially bind with antigen and elicit a number of secondary responses in vivo. most of the applications of antibodies in basic research diagnosis and immunotherapy rely on labeling of the antibody with radiopharmaceuticals. radiolabeled antibodies are a new class of imaging agents for the detection of sites of disease. true biodistribution o...
