PURPOSE: This study seeks to assess the use of labeling with micron-sized iron oxide (MPIO) particles for the detection and quantification of the migration of dendritic cells (DCs) using cellular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). PROCEDURES: DCs were labeled with red fluorescent MPIO particles for detection by cellular MRI and a green fluorescent membrane dye (PKH67) for histological detection. MPIO-labeled DCs or unlabeled control DCs were injected into mice footpads at two doses (0.1 × 10(6) and 1 × 10(6)). Images were acquired at 3 Tesla before DC injection and 2, 3, and 7 days post-DC injection. RESULTS: Labeling DCs with MPIO particles did not affect viability, but it did alter markers of DC activation and maturation. MRI and fluorescence microscopy allowed for the detection of MPIO-labeled DCs within the draining popliteal nodes after their injection into the footpad. CONCLUSIONS: This paper presents the first report of the successful use of fluorescent MPIO particles to label and track DC migration.
