Description:
We used a pretargeting technique to treat a nonobese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficient murine model of human adult T-cell leukemia with an anti-Tac antibody-streptavidin (HAT-SA) conjugate, which recognizes CD25, followed by bismuth 213 (213Bi)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-N,N′,N′′,N′′′-tetraacetic acid (DOTA)- biotin. In the 3-step pretargeting radioimmunotherapy protocol, HAT-SA (140 or 400 μg) was administered intravenously (i.v.) to bind to the interleukin 2 receptor α (IL-2Rα; CD25)–expressing tumor cells. After 24 hours, 100 μg of a synthetic clearing agent was administered i.v. to remove unbound circulating HAT-SA conjugate from the circulation. Four hours later,213Bi–DOTA-biotin was administered i.v. for therapy. Tumor growth was significantly inhibited in 3 trials by using 250 μCi (9.25 MBq) of 213Bi–DOTA-biotin with a pretargeting technique as monitored by serum levels of soluble IL-2Rα and/or human β-2-microglobulin (P
