<p>A radionuclide-chelator conjugate composition for detecting and/or treating lesions in a patient in a pre-targeting protocol which comprises pre-targeting the target cell, tissue, or pathogen with a substrate, using a targeting protein that specifically binds a marker substance on the target cell, tissue, or pathogen and to which the substrate is directly or indirectly bound; parenterally injecting the detection or therapeutic composition of the invention which comprises a chelate conjugate of biotin, a chelator, and a chelatable detection or therapeutic agent, and allowing the compsition to accrete at the targeted cell, tissue, or pathogen; wherein the chelate conjugate is purified by chromatography after chelate formation, or further comprises a blood transit-modifying linker or addend that is covalently bound within the chelate conjugate, or both; and using the detection or therapeutic agent to detect or treat the targeted cell, tissue, or pathogen.</p> |
