The presence of a tumour was confirmed and correlated well with conventional diagnostic techniques and, in addition, the antibody scan revealed the presence of active disease in 2 patients with negative conventional imaging and with elevated serum markers. In addition, in one patient the CT produced a false positive result where the antibody scan was negative. Finally, the absence of tumour was confirmed in all 8 cases of patients in complete remission. All patients studied with Indium-labelled antibody had observable concentrations of the radiolabel in the liver (estimated to be approximately 30% of the administered dose), as well as in the kidneys and spleen. The patients studied with the Iodine-123 labelled antibody had observable concentrations in the thyroid gland and the stomach. The best images were seen at 48 and 24 hrs after the Indium and Iodine radiolabelled antibody respectively. No human anti-mouse antibody was detected in any of our patients, even in those who received 2 and 3 administrations, with the highest amount of administered protein being 800 micrograms. No toxicity was encountered in any of our patients in 4 months of follow-up.

During its biosynthesis this antigen becomes expressed in the microvilli-bearing surface of carcinoma cells. Attempts have been carried out to target, with specific antithyroglobulin antibodies, the membrane bound absorption thyroglobulin in cancer cells for in vivo diagnosis and therapy. In the serum of patients with autoimmune thyroid diseases a high concentration of antithyroglobulin antibodies is frequently found (1-3 mg/ml). Their purification by immunoabsorption and dissociation is hampered by a low recovery and partial denaturation. It has been recently reported that about 1% of sera from Hashimoto's thyroiditis bear in their electrophoretogram a \"myeloma-like protein\". In the present report we describe in the serum of a Hashimoto patient a myeloma-like IgG which is an antithyroglobulin autoantibody with restricted functional and structural properties. The serum concentration of this myeloma-like IgG was found to be 40 mg/ml with a capacity of 6.5 nM of human thyroglobulin/mg IgG. The light chain composition was determined to be mostly of the lambda type. The clonal analysis of this myeloma IgG carried out by isoelectrofocusing, immunoblotting and autoradiography resulted in the recognition of several distinct clones, two of which were prominent at pH 8.7 and 7.8. By this technique and in view of the high serum concentration of this myeloma-like IgG, single clones of antithyroglobulin autoantibody can be easily obtained in high yields and without denaturation from human serum. This reagent could offer an ideal immunovector to target membrane-bound thyroglobulin of cancer cells.</p>","PeriodicalId":76654,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of nuclear medicine and allied sciences","volume":"34 4","pages":"304-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"13246257","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
