Technetium Tc 99m Arcitumomab
Technetium Tc 99m Arcitumomab Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.
Reduced Fab fragment of the murine IgG1 monoclonal antibody IMMU-4 (also called NP-4) with specificity for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) covalently labeled with Technitium 99. The molecule has a molecular weight of ~54,000 Daltons.
Binds to the carcinoembryonic antigen, which is a cell surface protein generally overexpressed in colon (and other) cancers. The radioactive Tc99, which is covalently attached to the antibody, allows radiodiagnostic detection of CEA expressing cells and tumors
