Radioimmunotherapy as a New Treatment for HIV, Bacterial and Fungal Infections

Abstract

Julie Constanzo*

On the other hand, efforts have been made to use radiolabeled antimicrobial peptides, chemotactic cytokines, leukotriene b4 antagonists, bacteriophages, chitinase and fluconazole to differentiate sterile inflammation from infection and notoriously difficult-to-diagnose fungal infections from bacterial infections. Fanolesomab (NeutroSpec), a murine IgM monoclonal antibody to CD15 that co-localizes with human polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) at the sites of infection, was also evaluated for use in imaging of infection and inflammation in healthy volunteers and patients. Here we will introduce the synopsis of the helpful viability of RIT of contaminations, its harmfulness and radiobiological instruments as well as will frame future point of view for consolidating RIT of diseases with present day imaging procedures like SPECT and PET.
