Intracytoplasmic tagging of cells with ferumoxides and transfection agent for cellular magnetic resonance imaging after cell transplantation: methods and techniques

Abstract

This technique can be used to label cells for in vivo MRI tracking of stem cells and lymphocytes. FE at a concentration of 25 to 50 microg/mL with a ratio of SPIO to PLL of 1:0.03 to 1:0.06 would be sufficient to label cells for cellular MRI.
