목적: 베타입자 방출 핵종을 표지한 항체를 임상적으로 이용하기 위해서는 높은 비방사능을 가지는 것이 중요하다. $^{188}W/^{188}Re$ 발생기를 사용하여 쉽게 얻을 수 있는 무담체 $^{188}Re$은 이런 목적에 이상적인 방사성 핵종이다. 하지만 높은 비방사능의 $^{188}Re$이 표지된 항체는 높은 베타 에너지(2.1 MeV)로 인한 불안정성이 문제가 된다. 우리는 $^{188}Re$이 표지된 항체의 안정성을 확보하기 위해 몇 가지 안정제가 미치는 영향에 대해서 조사하였다. 대상 및 방법: 환원시킨 단일클론항체(CEA79.4)에 stannous tartrate와 발생기에서 용출한 $^{188}Re-perrhenate$를 넣어 실온에서 2시간 반응시켰다. 각각의 방사화학적순도는 크로마토그라피를 써서 확인하였다. 표지된 항체에 사람 혈청 알부민(HSA)을 첨가(최종농도 2%)하고 ascorbic acid, ethanol, Tween 80 존재 하에서의 안정성을 각각 조사하였다. 결과: 표지된 항체의 비방사능은 $1.25{\sim}4.77MBq/{\mu}g$, 표지 효율은 $88{\pm}4%\;(n=12)$였다. 안정제로 ascorbic acid, ethanol, Tween 80을 첨가하였을 때 $N_2$ 존재 하에서 모든 경우에 10시간까지 안정하였으나, 공기와 접촉 시 10시간 후에 방사화학적순도는 각각 처음의 100, 45, 36%가 되었다. 과산화레늄(perrhenate)과 $^{188}Re-tartrate$의 증가가 주된 요인이었으며 콜로이드 형성은 모든 경우에 큰 영향을 끼치지 않았다. Ascorbic acid 첨가는 공기 중에서 perrhenate의 형성을 줄임으로서 항체의 안정성에 가장 많이 기여하였다. 결론: 높은 비방사능의 $^{188}Re$이 표지된 항체는 공기 중에 노출되었을 때 불안정하였으며, ascorbic acid 첨가시 안정성을 향상시킬 수 있었다.

Objectives : We performed an in vivo experiment to investigate the effect of $^{166}Holmium$ and $^{166}Holmium$-chitosan complex($^{166}Ho$-CHICO) on the normal brain of rats and to determine the sublethal dose of $^{166}Ho$-CHICO. Materials and Methods : $^{166}Ho$ is a beta and gamma ray emitter. $^{166}Ho$-CHICO is a novel radio-pharmaceutical complex with chitosan to facilitate the transport of $^{166}Ho$ obtained from Korea Atomic Energy Research Center(Taejon, Korea). It is in acidic form and becomes gel state at alkaline pH. One hundred and seventy consecutive rats were divided into four groups : $^{166}Ho$ treated(n＝50), $^{166}Ho$-CHICO treated(n＝57), saline treated(n＝5) and chitosan treated(n＝5) groups. $^{166}Ho$ and $^{166}Ho$-CHICO were injected into the rat brain stereotactically with various doses of 0.1mCi/$20{\mu}l$, 0.2mCi/$20{\mu}l$, 0.3mCi/$20{\mu}l$, and 0.4mCi/$20{\mu}l$ using an automated microinjector. Nuclear imaging, histopathological and hematological studies were performed in 10 rats in each group at 1 day, 3days, 7 days, 1 month and 3 months after the injections. Results : An infiltration of inflammatory cells and necrotic changes were noted in $^{166}Ho$ treated group at 1 week after the injection. A wedge-shaped tissue defect due to necrosis, lined with infiltrated glial cells in $^{166}Ho$ treated group and a cystic defect lined with reactive astroglial cells in $^{166}Holmium$-CHICO treated group at 3 months after the injection were observed. $^{166}Ho$ alone without chitosan leaked out and caused necrotic lesion on the cerebral surface but $^{166}Holmium$-CHICO treated group did not show this feature. As the dose of $^{166}Ho$ increased, the mortality rates were also increased. The mortality rate of the $^{166}Holmium$-CHICO group was higher than the $^{166}Ho$ treated group at a dose of 0.4mCi/$20{\mu}l$/300g. There was no detectable radioactivity due to the leakage or extravasation from the injected site of the brain on the scintigraphy performed at 1 hour, 24 hours and 48 hours after the injection. There was also no detectable activity of $^{166}Holmium$-CHICO in other organs including spleen, liver and kidney. Conclusions : $^{166}Ho$-CHICO did not leak out to the critical cortical surface of the brain from the injection site and induced radiation changes of the parenchyma around the injection site without cortical damage. The sublethal dose of $^{166}Ho$-CHICO for the normal brain in rats was determined to be 0.2mCi/$20{\mu}l$/300g.
