Recent studies suggest a higher anti-tumour efficacy of internalizing monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) when labelled with Auger electron emitters, as compared with beta-emitters. The aim of this study was to compare the anti-tumour efficacy and toxicity of the internalizing MAb, CO17-1A, labelled with Auger electron emitters (I-125, In-111) versus conventional beta(-)-emitters (I-131, Y-90) in a colon cancer model, and to assess whether the residualizing radiometals may have therapeutic advantages over the conventionally iodinated conjugates. Biodistribution studies of I-125-, In-111- or Y-88-labelled CO17-1A were performed in nude mice bearing subcutaneous human colon cancer xenografts. For therapy, the mice were injected with either unlabelled or I-125-, I-131-, In-111- or Y-90-labelled CO17-1A IgG(2a), whereas control groups were left untreated or were given a radiolabelled isotype-matched irrelevant antibody. The influence of internalization was assessed by comparing the results with those obtained with an anti-carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) antibody which does not internalize to a relevant extent. The maximum tolerated activities (MTA) and doses (MTD) of each agent were determined. Myelotoxicity and potential second-organ toxicities, as well as tumour growth, were monitored. Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) was performed in order to enable dose intensification. Radiometals showed significantly better tumour-to-blood ratios than the respective iodinated conjugates. The MTAs of I-131- and I-125-CO17-1A without artificial support were 11.1 MBq (300 mu Ci) and 111 MBq (3 mCi), respectively; the MTA of the metals was reached at 4 MBq (100 mu Ci) for Y-90-, and at 85 MBq (2.3 mCi) for In-111-CO17-1A. Myelotoxicity was dose limiting in all cases. BMT enabled an increase in the MTA to 15 MBq (400 mu Ci) of I-131-labelled CO17-IA, to 4.4 MBq (120 mu Ci) of Y-90-labelled CO17-IA, and to 118 MBq (3.2 mCi) of In-111-labelled CO17-1A, while the MTA of I-125-CO17-1A had not been reached at 185 MBq (5 mCi) with BMT. Whereas no significant therapeutic effects were seen with unlabelled CO17-1A, tumour growth was retarded significantly with its radiolabelled forms. The therapeutic results were significantly (P
