Introduction: The increasing interest in 99m-technetium ((99m)Tc)-labeled stem cells encouraged us to study the (99m)Tc binding sites in stem cell compartments.
Methods: Bone marrow mononuclear cells were collected from femurs and tibia of rats. Cells were labeled with (99m)Tc by a direct method, in which reduced molecules react with (99m)Tc with the use of chelating agents, and lysed carefully in an ultrasonic apparatus.
