| Abstract | The potential of human immunotherapeutics now revolutionizing modern cancer therapy has yet to make an impact in veterinary medicine, mainly due to the evolutionary differences between human and non-human cell surface antigens which bar the efficacy for many antibodies targeting human antigens. Here, we explore the possible use of an iodine-131 (I-131)-radiolabelled chimericTNT-1/B antibody, Cotara, being tested in humans, which targets a highly conserved structure present in all solid tumours. The goal was to document the possible toxic side-effects, retention, excretion and biodistribution of Cotara in non-tumour-bearing felines. The study was conducted with six lab animal domestic shorthaired felines. Two felines were randomly placed into three dose groups: 1.5, 2.0, and 3.0 mCi kg(-1) (0.68, 0.9 and 1.36 mCi lb(-1)); these doses were administered by a single IV injection. Thyroid blockade with potassium iodide (KI) was administered orally once daily. Over the 90-day study, haematologic test results, serum chemistry, thyroid function, food intake and morbidity were recorded. Drug distribution was ascertained through nuclear scintigraphy. Four of the six subjects had decreased appetite (Grade 1) that started on day 4 and then resolved by day 10. Two subjects exhibited intermittent days of anorexia (Grade 2) from day 5 to day 13. Both subjects with Grade 2 anorexia were sacrificed and necropsied once each exhibited two consecutive days of signs. Vomiting (Grade 2) occurred in 3 subjects from day 4 to day 13. Three subjects had moderate regenerative anaemia (Grade 2), whereas two developed leucocytosis. Overall, a single intravenous dose of Cotara resulted in moderate toxicity, with subjects exhibiting transitory signs of anorexia and vomiting without laboratory evidence of organ pathology. Each subject received a once daily oral dose of KI (33 mg) that was found to be safe and effective in the prevention of radiation damage to the thyroid gland over the study period. With a moderate toxicity profile, Cotara may hold unique promise by delivering I-131 directly into solid tumours of various types in felines. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
