Abstract: A process for the preparation of an organ-specific substance labeled with technetium-99mThe invention relates to a process for the preparation of an organ-specific substance labeled with technetium-99m, in which no unwanted Tc-99m compounds are bound to the antibody. This is achieved by using the complexing agent required for the reducing agent in an amount which is stoichiometric relative to the reducing agent.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the preparation of an organ-specific substance labeled with technetium-99m, in which an organ-specific substance, or an organ-specific substance which has been pretreated or coupled to a complexing agent for technetium-99m, is mixed with ?99m!-pertechnetate and a complex-stabilized reducing agent.

Abstract: The invention relates to bispecific and oligospecific, mono- and oligovalent receptors which are prepared by gene manipulation by fusion of DNA coding for F(ab) fragments of antibodies of two or more different specificities by means of suitable linkers. In this connection, one specificity is preferably directed either against an epitope, which is located on the cell membrane or in the interstitium, of a tumor-associated antigen (TAA) or against an epitope in the tumor endothelium (TE), while the other specificities relate to high-molecular or low-molecular weight ligands and react, for example, with the Komplexons ethylenediaminetetraacetate and diethylenetriaminepentaacetate in Y90 complexed form (EDTA-Y90 and DTPA-Y90 respectively). In a particularly preferred embodiment, the binding with the Komplexons takes place on the Komplexon receptor arm via fos-jun interaction (or else avidin-biotin interaction). Other preferred specificities have catalytic properties.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for labeling substances with--in particular radioactive--technetium or rhenium isotopes with the aid of N-substituted or C-substituted macrocyclic amine derivatives of the formula I and/or II ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 -R.sup.7, Y, m, n, o, p, f, g, h, i and j have the stated meanings, and to the use of these labeled substances, especially in medical diagnosis.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the preparation of an organ-specific substance labeled with technetium-99m, in which an organ specific substance, or an organ-specific substance which has been pretreated or coupled to a complexing agent for technetium-99m, is mixed with [99m]-pertechnetate and a complex-stabilized reducing agent.

Abstract: A diagnostic aid for the scintigraphic visualization of malignant tumors which contains a radionuclide which is bonded by means of a complex-forming agent to the substance obtained by the enzymatic processing of murein with enzyme consisting essentially of hen's eggwhite lysozyme.

Abstract: Silica gels modified with amino groups or magnesium silicates are suitable carrier materials for technetium-99m generators since they retain copper(II) ions well and thus produce a copper-free eluate.
