Metastatic colorectal cancer was detected with stabilized F(ab')2 fragments of ZCE-025, an anti-carcino-embryonic antigen (CEA) monoclonal antibody (MoAb). The fragments were prepared by cross-linking Fab' with a bifunctional cross-linking agent, bis-(maleimido)methyl ether. The authors labeled 2 mg of ZCE-025 with 5 mCi (185 MBq) of indium-111 and injected the material intravenously, either alone or with unlabeled F(ab')2, into 16 patients. Lesion detection, pharmacokinetics, and relative body distribution were evaluated and compared with those of the intact immunoglobulin (IgG1) antibody. Stabilized F(ab')2 fragments were more useful than the intact antibody in detection of lesions: Overall sensitivity of F(ab')2 fragments for all the patients was 79.4%, whereas overall sensitivity of the intact IgG1 antibody was 32%. This anti-CEA-stabilized F(ab')2 fragment may be a powerful diagnostic tool that can achieve higher sensitivity at smaller protein doses than the intact IgG1 antibody.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007140 Immunoglobulin Fab Fragments Univalent antigen-binding fragments composed of one entire IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAIN and the amino terminal end of one of the IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS from the hinge region, linked to each other by disulfide bonds. Fab contains the IMMUNOGLOBULIN VARIABLE REGIONS, which are part of the antigen-binding site, and the first IMMUNOGLOBULIN CONSTANT REGIONS. This fragment can be obtained by digestion of immunoglobulins with the proteolytic enzyme PAPAIN.

D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.
