Abstract
Purpose: The use of an α emitter for radioimmunotherapy has potential advantages compared with β emitters. When administered systemically optimal targeting of intact antibodies requires >24 h, therefore limiting the use of short-lived α emitters. This study investigated the biodistribution of bismuth-labeled biotin in A431 tumor-bearing mice pretargeted with antibody B3-streptavidin (B3-SA) and examined the therapeutic efficacy of the α emitter, 213Bi-labeled biotin.
