* * Typical T1 weigted MR images of pelleted cells labeled with different concentration of Mn are shown at the top row. As the concentration of Mn increases, SI form the pellet increases as well. Second row shows that serial bioluminescence imaging of the hESC-luc+ activity with the same labeled with different concentration of MnCl2. * Reduction of SI difference by 26% (SI 727±139 vs. 379±248, n = 4) with addition of 250 uM verapamil and increase of SI difference by 30% (SI difference 727±139 vs 1220±317, n = 4) with addition of 5 uM (s)-(-)-Bay K8644, both in 0.1 mM MnCl2 solution. * * Before proceeding, I wanted to breifly review reporter gene based cell imaging. The concept is an expansion of established report gene techniques, where we start with the reporter gene DNA. In this case coding for luciferase, and introduce it into the cell to be tracked. The cell, as long as it is alive, will transplate this into the reporter protein. When we need to image the cell, a probe is injected into the animal, in this case luciferein. This then interacts with our report protein to yield a detectable signal. * * * * * * * * In Vivo Cellular and Molecular MRI of Embryonic Stem Cell Survival and Proliferation Phillip C.
