Quantification of Cell Density of SPIO-Labelled Cell Populations
نویسندگان
چکیده
In recent years, numerous reports concerning the reduced relaxivity of cell-internalized contrast agents (CA) have been made (e.g. [1], [2]). This reduction is caused by the compartmentalization of CA inside the cells and has already been thoroughly investigated [3]. The aim of this study was to develop a method to correctly quantify the density of cell populations with intracellular CA despite the presence of quenching effects.

R2* Quantification of High Iron Concentrations for Cellular Therapy Applications with TurboSPI
Introduction: Many MRI techniques are now capable of imaging cells that have been labelled with super-paramagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) [1], and these techniques will be of great benefit to the developing field of cellular therapy. However, the majority of these techniques are not capable of providing quantitative information about cellular density at high iron concentrations, which is critical to...

Non-invasive monitoring of living cells in vivo provides an important tool in the development of cell-based therapies in cartilage tissue engineering. High-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been used to monitor target cell populations in vivo. However, the side-effects on cell function of the labelling reagents, such as superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO), are still unclear. This ...

To investigate the feasibility and changes of biological characteristics before and after synovial mesenchymal stem cells (SMSCs) labelled by super paramagnetic iron oxide (SPIO). The rabbit SMSCs were isolated, cultured, purified and identified in vitro. After adding the different concentrations of SPIO-labelled liquid, the cells were incubated 24 h in 37°C carbon dioxide incubator. The labele...
متن کاملIn vitro labelling and detection of mesenchymal stromal cells: a comparison between magnetic resonance imaging of iron-labelled cells and magnetic resonance spectroscopy of fluorine-labelled cells
Background: Among the various stem cell populations used for cell therapy, adult mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have emerged as a major new cell technology. These cells must be tracked after transplantation to monitor their migration within the body and quantify their accumulation at the target site. This study assessed whether rat bone marrow MSCs can be labelled with superparamagnetic iron ...

Magnetically labelled cells are used for in vivo cell tracking by MRI, used for the clinical translation of cell-base therapies. Studies involving magnetic labelled cells may include separation of labelled cells, targeted delivery and controlled release of drugs, contrast enhanced MRI and magnetic hyperthermia for the in situ ablation of tumours. Dextran-coated super-paramagnetic iron oxide (SP...
