N2 - Purpose: To reduce accumulation in the abdomen by MORF/cMORF pretargeting, 111In was compared to 99mTc as the radiolabel. Procedures: After receiving either 99mTc (MAG3)-cMORF or 111In (DTPA)-cMORF, normal mice were imaged and killed for pharmacokinetics. Thereafter, tumored mice were pretargeted with MORF-antibody, 48 h later were given an injection of 99mTc- or 111In-cMORF, and finally were imaged repeatedly. Results: The cMORF biodistribution in both normal and pretargeted tumored mice was influenced by its radiolabel. While excretion of both 99mTc-cMORF and 111In-cMORF was rapid and mainly through the kidneys, about 2% of 99mTc accumulated in the intestines compared to essentially no intestinal accumulation for 111In at any time. Tumor accumulation was unchanged. Conclusion: In applications of MORF/cMORF pretargeting intended to image organs deep within the abdomen such as the pancreas, radiolabeling with 111In may be superior to 99mTc.
