Monitoring the Bystander Killing Effect of Human Multipotent Stem Cells for Treatment of Malignant Brain Tumors

Figure 3

In vitro validation of SPIO labeling of hMultistem cells. (a) ICP-OES experiments confirmed iron internalization after SPIO labeling ( pg Fe cell⁻¹) but not for unlabeled control cells. (b) Multiecho T₂ map (MRI) confirms higher relaxation rats for SPIO labeled cells compared to controls. (c) BLI signal intensity was not significantly affected by SPIO labeling of cells ().
