  1. A: 177Lu activity concentration (%IA/g), B: tumor-to-normal tissue activity concentration ratio, and C: percent of tumor cells with positive immunohistochemical staining from tumors after 5 + 10 or 15 MBq 177Lu-octreotate with or without priming activity, respectively, corrected for physical decay, in different tissues in GOT1 tumor-bearing nude mice at 24, 72, and 168 h after injection (n = 3/group). Values for the 5 + 10 MBq group (activity concentration and T/N) were estimated based on data from the 10 MBq administrations only i.e. therapeutic effect. Values are given as mean (SEM). Statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) between priming and single administration and between treated animals and controls is indicated by a and c, respectively, b n = 2
