    <p>Panel <b>A</b> shows IHC of fluorescently labeled Pmel-1 CD8+ T cells. Animals were infused with T cells (2×10<sup>7</sup>) and sacrificed for IHC staining two days after cell infusion. Sparse T cells are shown at the arrows. Panels <b>B–C</b> show quantitative flow cytometry of Pmel-1, hgp100-specific T cells in brain cell suspension with CD8+ (<b>B</b>) and CD3+ (<b>C</b>) gating. Panel <b>D</b> shows quantitative flow cytometry of wild-type T cells. Here, PE = Phycoerythrin, FITC = Fluorescein isothiocyanate, and TIL = tumor infiltrating lymphocytes.</p

    <i>In vivo</i><sup>19</sup>F/<sup>1</sup>H MRI of mouse glioma showing <sup>19</sup>F labeled tumor cells.

    <p>Panel (<b>A</b>) is a <sup>1</sup>H axial image and panel (<b>B</b>) is a composite <sup>19</sup>F and <sup>1</sup>H image of PCE labeled GL261 glioma cells in the right striatum at day 5 post tumor inoculation. The <sup>19</sup>F image is rendered in a hot-iron intensity scale, and the <sup>1</sup>H is in gray scale. Unlabeled GL261 cells were injected into the contralateral striatum in the same imaging plane. Diluted PCE emulsion (9.8 mg/ml) in 2% agarose was used as a <sup>19</sup>F reference (shown at bottom).</p

    <p>Panel (<b>A</b>) shows the pO<sub>2</sub> (left axis) and R<sub>1</sub> (right axis) values. Panel (<b>B</b>) displays the total normalized <sup>19</sup>F signal of the tumor over time. On day 3, Pmel-1 antigen-specific CD8+ T cells or wild-type T cells were injected into the corresponding groups, and the control group received no cells. Here, (*) denotes p<0.05 comparing Pmel-1 group with wild-type T cell and no-cell groups.</p

    <i>In vitro</i> calibration curve for R<sub>1</sub> = 1/T<sub>1</sub> versus pO<sub>2</sub>.

    <p>Here, solid circles represent average <sup>19</sup>F R<sub>1</sub> measurements of six oxygen partial pressure values, each in triplicate, ranging from 0% to 100% oxygen in a saturated O<sub>2</sub>/N<sub>2</sub> mixture of PFC emulsion in water. The solid line is the calibration curve fit by the linear least squares method (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.99). Data were collected at 11.7 T and 37°C. 100% oxygen is equivalent to 760 mm Hg. (The R<sub>1</sub> error bars are smaller than the point size.)</p

This was done with 24 hr stimulation of DCs (20 × 10per well, duplicates) with CD40L-transfected J558 cells (50 × 10per well). Supernatant was harvested and the production of IL-12 p70 was assayed by specific ELISA. Values indicate averages of duplicate samples. Bars indicate standard errors

Each well contained 5 × 10CD8cells and each group was evaluated in triplicate. Specific IFN-γ spots were calculated by subtracting the average of control spots (triplicate variation within a group was less than 10% in non-peptide-loaded T2 cell groups) from the total numbers of spots in peptide-loaded groups. Values indicate averages of triplicate samples for each time point, and bars indicate standard deviations. The number of spots in each post-vaccine time point was at least three times the standard-deviation of the pre-vaccine value
