Abstract
A radiolabeled protein composition adapted for radiation therapy which comprises a radioisotope and a protein material containing about 6 or more percent amino acids which have a sulfhydryl-containing side chain. A method for carrying out radiation synovectomy of arthritic joints. Rhenium radiolabeled protein micro- spheres are administered which contain cysteine and other amino acids. A method for radiolabeling a protein composition whereby the composition is treated with a reducing agent capable of reducing disulfides to sulfhydryls prior to radiolabeling.
