Abstract
The 99mTc human serum albumin (HSA) system was reinvestigated with gel filtration as the assay method. Other than 99mTc HSA, 2 radioactive components were isolated by this technique. Both components are tin-technetium colloids of differing particle sizes, and the relative quantity of each one is pH-dependent. The colloid was further characterized by protein-induced X-ray emission analysis (PIXE) and by tissue distribution in rats. By this gel-filtration method, commercial 99mTc HSA kits were evaluated and have revealed varying amounts of colloids present.
