Abstract

The present study was carried out to determine the possible use of cTn-I in the cardiac myofibrillar architecture, as a potential target for in vivo radioimmunodetection of cardiac damage in a brain death pig model. Radioiodiantion of the anti-cTn-I 5F4 McAb was carried out by lactoperoxidase method. the percentage iodine incorporation achieved was 70-75%. The radioiodinated McAbs were purified on Sephadex G-25 column and characterised by Paper chromatography, Phast Gel electrophoresis and electroimmunoblotting. Radioiodinated anticTn-I 5F4 McAbs were employed alongside Pyrophosphate($Tc_{99m}$-PPi$) and $Thallium^{201}$ chloride($TI^{201}$) in 24 landrace pigs (brain-dead=18 & sham-operated=6). The percentage cardiac uptake of the radiolabelled antibody injected dose was significantly higher in the brain dead animals(0.196%) as compared to that of sham-operated animals (0.11%). Specific in vivo localization of radiolabelled McAbs in the infarcted cardiac tissue was confirmed by computer-aided reconstruction of 3-D images of the isolated heart. The preliminary results of the study revealed preferential uptake of radiolabelled antibody at the site of myocyte damage resulting from artificially induced brain death.
