Rituximab (RTX) is specifically targeted against CD20, a surface antigen expressed by B-lymphocytes. The use of 188Re from a 188W/188Re generator system represents an alternative radionuclide for therapy. Rhenium has chemical properties similar to technetium and both can be conjugated to antibodies using similar chemistry methods. The objective of this work is to prove the usefulness of this radiopharmaceutical based on dosimetric and pharmacokinetic studies that are also required by the Brazilian Regulatory Agency.1029-1035openAccesstherapylymphomasrhenium 188dosimetrylabelled compoundslymphocytesradiopharmaceuticalspharmacologyantibodiesArtigo de periódico330910.1007/s10967-016-4703-yhttps://orcid.org/0000-0002-6672-1631https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4455-348643.10
