Description

BSAI, PSA and RCAI which can bind to glycoconjugates of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) were radiolabelled with 125I and the targeting localization of human HCC grafted in nude mice were observed with 125I-lectins. The results indicated that the planted human HCC in nude mice was clearly imaged with the three 125I-lectins though other tissues in the mice also contained different amounts of 125I-lectins. The planted tumors could not be showed with Na 125I or 125I-cytochrome C in controls. It is suggested that lectins specific for HCC had a potential application in the targeting localization of HCC
