In Vivo Cell Tracking in vivo Cell Tracking with 19F MRI Imaging stem cell engraftment in the mouse whole body following IV administration Cell concentration Standard Project Design 19 F labeling of cells in vitro (using Cell Sense) ex vivo pilot with NMR in vivo whole body MRI cell engraftment and biodistribution time course 19 F MRI color signal (cell concentration) on greyscale anatomical MRI 11.7T Bruker MRI system for maximum sensitivity 19F-MRI with 11.7T system (19F cell signal as color overlay on greyscale anatomical MRI) CONFIDENTIAL
CONFIDENTIAL Conclusions At Molecular Imaging we have a large number of syngeneic tumor lines We have characterized the immune profile of several of these lines with more work ongoing We have investigated the treatment related effects of immune checkpoint inhibitors on solid tumor models Direct anti-tumor effects Immune modulatory effects We have some unique models to allow investigation into multiple myeloma and glioblastoma We are evaluating T cell tracking through 19 F-MRI
