Radiolabeled ([3H]cholesteryloleyl ether) immunoliposomes directed against rat colon adenocarcinoma CC531 cells were prepared by random coupling of a tumor cell-specific antibody, CC52, via a thio ether bond. In vitro binding experiments demonstrated a saturable and specific interaction of CC52-immunoliposomes, which could be inhibited by free non-coupled CC52 but not by irrelevant antibodies. The in vivo targeting potential of CC52-immunoliposomes, which were pegylated to achieve prolonged circulation times, was tested in an established rat liver CC531 metastasis model. Twenty-four hours after injection of the liposomes, 25% of the CC52-immunoliposomes were still present in the blood, which was comparable with the control liposomes (either with or without antibody). Liposomes were mainly taken up from the blood by the liver and the spleen, although hepatic uptake of the immunoliposomes was higher and splenic uptake was lower as compared to liposomes without antibody. Within the metastatic tumor nodules in the liver, uptake of both the CC52-immunoliposomes and non-specific immunoliposomes was significantly higher than that of control liposomes without antibody. Visualization of fluorescently or gold labeled CC52-immunoliposomes revealed that, although targeting to liver metastases was achieved, the immunoliposomes were mostly not associated with tumor cells but rather localized in tumor associated cells, probably macrophages.
