Table 1. Biodistribution of radioactivity in NMRI mice after ip injections of 111In-DOTA-3A3 (40 μg and 160 μg – single injection, 40 μg repeated – 40 μg of non-labelled 3A3 were injected ip 24 h before 111In-DOTA-3A3).

Results are presented as average of percent injected dose per gram tissue (%ID/g) for 4 animals ± SD. *Data were assessed by an unpaired, two-tailed t-test in order to determine significant differences (p < 0.05). **Data were analysed together with data for 24 h using one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons (family-wise significance 0.05). ***Values for GI (gastrointestinal) tract and carcass are given as %ID per whole sample. aValue is significantly lower than for the previous time point. bValue is significantly higher than for the previous time point. cValue is significantly lower than for 24 h pi of single dose of 40 μg (at least **P ≤ 0.01). dValue is significantly higher than for 24 h pi of single dose of 40 μg (at least **P ≤ 0.01) e - value is significantly lower than for 24 h pi of single dose of 160 μg (*P ≤ 0.01).
