Research Abstract

Lutetium-177 is considered to have potential for application in radionuclide therapy, because it emits b-particles suitable to penetrate small tumors. In addition, real time imaging of biodistribution can be done by using the ^<177>Lu, because the energy of g-rays emitted from ^<177>Lu is particularly suitable for imaging by single photon emission computed tomography. In the field of radioimmunotherapy using labeled monoclonal antibodies, to enhance the effect of therapy, no-carrier-added ^<177>Lu produced in the ^<176>Yb(n, g) ^<177>Yb → ^<177>Lu process are desired. In this production, separation of ^<177>Lu from Yb target is required. Therefore, in the present paper, basic study of separation between Lu and Yb by using iminodiacetic acid chelating resin is investigated. It was found that the best separation between Lu and Yb was achieved by using 0.013 M HNO_3 for the eluent and the column of 4.6 mmφx450 mm size.
