Nuclear medicine aids early diagnosis of pulmonary anthrax

rson University (Philadelphia PA), notes that With its high specificity and affinityand a number of other advantagesthis technique provides a logical and promising approach to early diagnosis, which assumes critical importance in an entity as life-threatening as anthrax and where criminal activity may be involved. Thakur was the earliest nuclear medicine practitioner to work with this radiolabeled antibody.

Bridwell agrees, noting that this technique also reinforces nuclear medicines growing importance in providing fast and reliable functional information at the cellular diagnostic level.

According to the article, should the initial results of this clinical trial demonstrate the monoclonal antibodys utility in the diagnosis of inhalation anthrax, Palatin will initiate discussions with the FDA to provide the agent to other medical institutions caring for patients with credible exposure to anthrax.
