“…Donor lymphocytes are radiolabeled with individual isotopes (e.g., 111 In, 125 I, 99m Tc) allowing for their detection in target tissues after adoptive transfer (Wallace et al, 1993). Furthermore, radiolabeling (which is typically detected ex vivo in murine tissues) has been applied in vivo, utilizing whole body scintigraphy imaging in human clinical trials (Cole et al, 1994;Itoh et al, 1988;Mitchell et al, 2002;Pockaj et al, 1994). However, the strategy of utilizing radiolabeled lymphocytes to study trafficking of AT cells is mostly inferential, dependent upon many variables and lacks qualitative data regarding phenotype, function or actual location of labeled cells within the target tissues.…”
