Some soft-tissue sarcomas contain intracellular myosin. We therefore studied the possibility of localizing various soft-tissue sarcomas with 111In-labeled monoclonal antibody Fab fragments binding specifically to myosin, assuming that damage to the cell membrane could expose intracellular myosin. Nineteen patients with different types of soft-tissue sarcomas were studied. Eighteen patients were found to have abnormal antibody uptakes. Antibody uptake was not observed in an additional patient operated for a benign tumor (gastric leiomyoma). The immunoscintigraphy results were generally in good agreement with those of other radiologic findings (computed tomography, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging). Surprisingly, the immunohistochemistry results showed that tumors not stainable for myosin can also be imaged with antimyosin. Thus, the mechanism of antibody uptake does not seem to be related entirely to specific antigen recognition. Irrespective of the exact mechanism for the uptake of labeled antibody this method appears to be useful for localizing soft-tissue sarcomas.

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.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D009218 Myosins A diverse superfamily of proteins that function as translocating proteins. They share the common characteristics of being able to bind ACTINS and hydrolyze MgATP. Myosins generally consist of heavy chains which are involved in locomotion, and light chains which are involved in regulation. Within the structure of myosin heavy chain are three domains: the head, the neck and the tail. The head region of the heavy chain contains the actin binding domain and MgATPase domain which provides energy for locomotion. The neck region is involved in binding the light-chains. The tail region provides the anchoring point that maintains the position of the heavy chain. The superfamily of myosins is organized into structural classes based upon the type and arrangement of the subunits they contain.

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.
