Optimization of the radiolabelling method for improved in vitro and in vivo stability of 90 Y-albumin microspheres.

Biologically stable 90Y-labelled albumin microspheres (AMS) were developed by optimizing the process of their preparation. Three formulations of 90Y-AMS were initially prepared with high radiolabelling yield but depending on the step when the radionuclide 90Y and DTPA chelator were added, radiolabelled microspheres with different in vitro and in vivo stability were obtained.
