ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to the efficient preparation of radionuclide labeled liposomes and radionuclide-labeled liposome-encapsulated protein. In particular, a .sup.99m Tc carrier is used to label preformed liposomes or liposome-encapsulated hemoglobin. .sup.99m Tc-labeled liposomes and liposome-encapsulated .sup.99m Tc labeled hemoglobin are highly stable in vitro and in vivo and are suitable for a variety of clinical uses, including biodistribution imaging studies. The invention also relates to a method of labeling neutrophils using .sup.99m technetium-labeled liposomes or liposome-encapsulated hemoglobin. A kit method useful for the convenient preparation of .sup.99m Tc-labeled liposomes or liposome-encapsulated hemoglobin for clinical use is also disclosed.
