    Radioiodination (by Jun Takagi,6/16/2000)

    Purpose and backgrounds
    Principle of radioiodination
    Addition of oxidizing reagents (such as chloramine-T or peroxidase+H2 02 ) converts I- to I+ or I3- . This highly reactive molecule attacks o-position of tyrosine (or in some case, histidine is also labeled).
    About nuclide...
    125-I
    decay: electron capture (g-ray, 0.035 MeV)
    half life: 60 days
    requires >3 mm lead plate to block >90% emission. Glass, plastic, or water cannot block.
    Chemical properties...
    Usually shipped as Na125 I in alkaline solution at 1 mCi(37 MBq)/10µl.
    Easily evaporates when converted into molecular gas (I2) form. Therefore, you MUST NOT freeze the vial. Upon freezing, I2 will sublimate.
    *Always stabilize ionized form (I- ) and avoid low pH and oxidizing condition for waste solution containing inorganic I- . To accomplish this, add 1/10 vol of stabilizer (see below) to the waste solution.
    Handling of Na125 I soln in v-vial
    IODINE-125(Amersham; IMS30) will be shipped in v-vial with rubber septum. NEVER remove the septum! The solution must be taken out from the vial using Hamilton microsyringe with sharp needle.
    Materials
    For procedure 1
    • 0.1 M phosphate buffer, pH 7.0
    • Tris-buffered saline (TBS)
    • 5% BSA in TBS
    • stabilizer soln (10% sodium thiosulfate+0.1N NaOH)
    • IODO-BEAD™(PIERCE)
    • Hamilton microsyringe (model 702, 25µl, needle gauge 22S, point style #2)
    • desalting column (Bio-rad DG-10 etc.)
    • column stand
    For procedure 2
    • PBS containing 20 mM glucose
    • Hepes-Tyrode buffer (or any buffer compatible with your subsequent experiments with labeled cells)
    • lactoperoxidase (Sigma L-8257) dissolved in PBS at 1 mg/ml
    • glucose oxidase (Sigma G-7016) dissolved in PBS at 5 U/ml

    Procedure
    i) Radioiodination of protein in solution
    *Reading a free booklet available from Amersham ("Guide to radioiodination techniques") is recommended.

    1. In clear plastic tube, add 200µl of 0.1M phosphate buffer, pH 7
    2. Add 5µl (500µCi) of 125-I using microsyringe
    3. Add 1-2 pieces of IODO-BEADs
    4. incubate at room temp, 5 min
    5. Add your protein(1-100µg, 25 µg is good for IgGs or Fab)
    6. Incubateat room temp, 10-25 min
    7. Take reaction mixture (leave beads) and apply on a desalting column §
    8. Collect fractions (0.5 - 1 ml/fr.)

    Prior to use, washed three times with phosphate buffer to remove debris on the beads)
    § Block nonspecific binding site by applying 1ml of 5% BSA-TBS followed by equilibration with TBS.
