What is oxine? oxine<br />
Oxine (8-hydroxyquinolone) (8 hydroxyquinolone) is a lipid-soluble lipid soluble complex that<br />
chelates metal ions<br />
<strong>Leukocyte</strong>s are removed from plasma for labeling<br />
How is it taken up?<br />
<strong>Indium</strong>-<strong>111</strong> <strong>Indium</strong> <strong>111</strong> oxine complex diffuses through cell membranes<br />
Once intracellular, the complex dissociates<br />
<strong>Indium</strong>-<strong>111</strong> <strong>Indium</strong> <strong>111</strong> binds nuclear and cytoplasmic proteins<br />
Oxine diffuses back out of the cell<br />
