An experimental kidney infarction model was developed in the mouse to study the uptake of a radiolabeled monoclonal antibody previously shown to bind to degenerating cells in malignant tumors. To determine if this approach is applicable to normal tissue and cell degeneration, kidney infarction was produced by clamping the mouse renal artery for 3 h using surgical procedures. Various groups of mice were injected with 131 I‐labeled TNT‐1 F(ab‘) 2 monoclonal antibody directed against nuclear histone antigens at varying intervals after surgery. Imaging, biodistribution, autoradiography, and histological studies were performed on each group of mice, including sham‐operated controls, to quantitate the level of binding and localize the uptake of label in clamped and unclamped (contralateral) kidneys. As additional controls, clamped mice were administered radiolabeled irrelevant monoclonal antibody Lym‐1 or mouse albumin. The results showed a marked selective uptake of radiolabeled TNT‐1 F(ab‘) 2 in the injured clamped kidney compared with the untreated kidney and other normal organs of the mouse. These studies define a model of normal organ necrosis that may be useful for study of the kinetics of antibody uptake in infarcted tissues.— C hen , F.‐M.; W isner , J.
