[A radioimmunoconjugate of a rabbit antihuman ferritin IgG labeled with iodine 131 (I-131). Using anti-ferritin IgG as a carrier for I-131 may result in the targeted imaging and/or destruction of cells expressing ferritin. Observed in 35% to 100% of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, high serum ferritin levels may be due to ferritin production by the tumor cells, or related to the associated iron overload and/or cirrhosis.
