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 />
