Abstract

Investigations for NHL treatment are oriented towards radiolabelled therapeutics. This research
focuses on formulation and characterization of a new, ready to label immunoconjugate, 1B4M-DTPA-rituximab,
which is suitable for labeling with Lu-177. The conjugation was performed using 20-fold molar excess of the
bifunctional chelating agent, 1B4M-DTPA and subsequent lyophilization. The characterization of the
(radio)immunoconjugate was performed using SE-HPLC, SDS-PAGE and MALDI-TOF-MS. The results show
that the conjugation reaction yields immunoconjugates with average of 8.3 chelating groups per one rituximab
molecule and the subsequent lyophilization did not affect the integrity, the structure, or radionuclide-binding
properties. The radiolabelling with 555 GBq/mg Lu-177 resulted in over 95% radiochemical purity, which makes
this agent a good candidate for further investigation of biological and pharmacological potency in NHL therapy.
