We have previously reported successful imaging of fresh (2-4 hr old) and aged (1-5 days old) canine thrombi with 131I-labeled intact monoclonal antibody (MAb) specific for fibrin. We now report thrombus imaging with 131I-labeled F(ab')2 and Fab and 111In-labeled intact MAb, F(ab')2, and Fab. Indium-111-labeled F(ab')2 proved to be the best imaging agent due to less nonspecific binding in the liver than whole IgG. Image quality was improved by the higher administered dose permissible with 111In and its better physical characteristics for imaging, compared to 131I. Immunofluorescence of fresh human histologic sections showed intact MAb and F(ab')2 binding to thrombi, pulmonary emboli, and atherosclerotic plaques, strengthening the feasibility of clinical thrombus imaging.
