Natural killer cells (NKs) are important effectors of the innate immune system, with marked antitumor activity. Imaging NK trafficking in vivo may be relevant to following up the efficacy of new therapeutic approaches aiming at increasing tumor-infiltrating NKs (TINKs). The specific aims of present study were to efficiently target NKs using a (99m)Tc-anti-CD56 and to image human NK trafficking in SCID mice bearing human cancer.

Abstract

Natural killer cells (NKs) are important effectors of the innate immune system, with marked antitumor activity. Imaging NK trafficking in vivo may be relevant to following up the efficacy of new therapeutic approaches aiming at increasing tumor-infiltrating NKs (TINKs). The specific aims of present study were to efficiently target NKs using a (99m)Tc-anti-CD56 and to image human NK trafficking in SCID mice bearing human cancer.
