Hi Matthew,
The main purpose is to use a radio-isotope, more specifically Rhenium-188, attached to a chicken pox strain to treat my wife for pancreatic cancer. My wife, 32 year old, was diagnosed with metastatic pancreatic cancer after giving birth to our only child. How difficult is it to find a lab that supplies an attentuated chicken pox virus with Rhenium-188?
Thanks
Kevin

--Hi Kevin,
The easiest way to radio label bacteria is to feed them on a radio labeled carbon source. They will take it up and incorporate the isotope into its body.
Working with radioactivity would not be my first choice. You have to be very careful how you dispose of everything and wear extra protection and other safety precautions. Can I ask what you are wishing to do? There may be a way to do it without radio labeling.
