Abstract

The present invention provides a metal ion scavenging procedure and antibody compositions for radioimmunoscintigraphy and cytotoxic radioimmunotherapy having chelator concentrations of greater than about 10.sup.-4 M which are optimized with respect to their metal binding capacity such that highly efficient labelling of the antibody is achieved in a simple one step procedure using readily available sources of radiometal ions.
