Effect of mixed ligand complex therapy on the retention of 95Nb and 144Ce in mice

We have examined in mice the effects of mixed ligand treatments with desferrioxamine B (DFOA), Na3Ca-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA), and DL-penicillamine (PA) on the retention of a mixture of 95Nb and 144Ce. The results show that 95Nb + 144Ce could be mobilized effectively by simultaneous application of specific agents (i.e., DFOA, DTPA) with no decrease in their efficiencies.
