Paul Ehrlich's inspired concept of'magic bullets' for the cure (~ f diseases has beer~ revitalized by recent advances in immunology j. In parlicular, the development of ceil fusion technology allowing the production r![monoelonal antibodies (Mabs) with exquisite specifcities 2 triggered new hopes that we may now have the perfect carrier molecules with which to deliver cytotoxic drugs 3 or loxins 4 to the hidden cancer cells. This article reviews data on one aspect of the magic bullet concept, the use of radiolabelled antibodies as tracers for turnout localization. It will also discuss the very recent clinical use of 13l I-labelled Mabs against carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA)~ lo detect carcinoma either by conventional external photosearmir~ g or by single photon emission compulerized lomography (SPECT). This alliance (the most modern tools from immunology (Mabs) and nuclear medicine (SPECT) appears promising as a way to improve the sensitivity of'immunoscintigraphy'. However, this approach is not yet tea+ for wi&spread clinical use.Experimental models Research on tumour localization of radiolabelled antibodies was initiated almost 30 years ago by Pressman C'and Bale 7, who showed that labelled antibodies against Wagner osteosarcoma or Walker carcinoma cells were concentrated in vivo by these turnouts. One of Pressman's major contributions in this field was to introduce the paired labelling method 8, in which both antibodies and control normal IgG, each labelled with a different isotope, are injected simultaneously into the same turnout-bearing animal. The measurement of radioactivity from each isotope in a dual channel scintillation counter allows one to distinguish the specific localization of antibodies in a turnout ft'om the non-specific accumulation of normal IgG, which is known to occur in the inflammatory and necrotic region of the tumour'. In 1971, using this
