Figure Lengend Snippet: SPECT/CT imaging with 99m Tc-Tilmanocept can specifically detect CD206 + cells in vivo. ( A ) Representative SPECT/CT images of 4T1 tumor-bearing mice at 1 h post-injection of 15 MBq/100 µL of 99m Tc-Tilmanocept (4T1, n = 8) or 15 MBq/100 µL of 99m Tc-Tilmanocept with a 20× excess of cold Tilmanocept (4T1 blocking, n = 6). Results are presented as the median with the interquartile range. The scatter dot plot represents the percentage of the injected dose of 99m Tc-Tilmanocept per gram of tumor (%ID/g) for both groups (* p = 0.0293). ( B ) The scatter dot plot represents the percentage of injected dose of 99m Tc-Tilmanocept per gram of tumor of 4T1 tumor-bearing mice at 24 h post-injection of 15 MBq/100 µL of 99m Tc-Tilmanocept (4T1, n = 8) or 15 MBq/100 µL of 99m Tc-Tilmanocept with a 20x excess of cold Tilmanocept (4T1 blocking, n = 6) measured by gamma counting (*** p = 0.0007).
Article Snippet: The tissues were then stained with a rabbit polyclonal antibody directed against CD206 (1/100; LS-B9805-200, Clinisciences, Nanterre, France), GRP94 antibody (1/100; LS B3418, Clinisciences, Nanterre, France), or against CD8 (1/200; NBP2-29475, Novusbio, Noyal Châtillon sur Seiche, France) overnight at 4 °C.
