For the brain glucose metabolism assessment, a 10-min static PET scan of brains was performed. After completing the behavioral assays, mice from different experimental groups were injected intravenously with 5.4–8.1 MBq (146–220 μCi) of [18F]FDG. Around 2 h after injection, brains were dissected and static 10-min PET images were obtained using an Inveon MicroPET scanner (Siemens).
For the brain blood flow assessment, a 2-min dynamic PET scan of mice was performed. MI and SHAM mice were injected intravenously with 4.0–4.3 MBq (109–117 mCi) of FDG, and 2-min dynamic PET scans were obtained using an Inveon MicroPET scanner (Siemens)86 (link)–88 (link). The body temperature of mice was maintained at 37 °C. MicroCT (MILabs) was used for anatomical references. Regions of interest were manually drawn over the hippocampus. All PET images were reconstructed using an 3D-OSEM algorithm with three iterations in a 256 × 256 matrix (Inveon, Siemens) and analyzed using VivoQuant version 4 (Invicro). Decay correction was applied to all PET data.

Non-invasive immuno-PET tracking CD8 T cells in vivo was performed using 89Zr-desferrioxamine-labeled anti-CD8 cys-diabody (cDb) at the UCLA Preclinical Imaging Technology Center, Crump Institute30 (link). For microPET imaging, 150 µL doses containing Zr-89 radiolabeled cDb were prepared in saline for i.v. injection. Mice were anesthetized using 2% isoflurane and microPET scans were acquired using an Inveon microPET scanner (Siemens, Munich, Germany) followed by microCT scan (ImTek, Wedesboro, NJ). MicroPET images were reconstructed using non-attenuation or scatter corrected maximum a posteriori (MAP) reconstruction and AMIDE was used for image analysis and display31 (link). At 24 h post-injection, mice were euthanized, the organs and blood were collected, weighed and the radioactivity was counted to assess CD8 T cells biodistribution. The percent-injected dose per gram of tissue (%ID/g) was calculated using a standard containing one percent of the injected dose31 (link).

To the as-prepared ZrMOF-PEG nanoparticle solution, 64Cu(Ac)2 (0.7 mCi) was added and incubated at 50 °C for 2 h. The labeling efficiency was monitored by TLC. After labeling, 64Cu-ZrMOF was washed with water and resuspended in PBS buffer at a final concentration of 1 μCi / μL. 64Cu-ZrMOF nanoparticles (100 μCi) were intravenously injected into the A431 tumor-bearing mice. Whole-body PET scans at different periods of time were collected from an Inveon Micro PET scanner (Siemens Medical Solutions). The data were analyzed by 3-dimensional regions of interest using (insert software used). Data were reported as %ID/g.

MicroPET imaging was performed on an Inveon microPET scanner (SiemensMedical Solutions, Germany). Xenograft mice were injected intravenously with 4.0-5.0 MBq 68Ga-NOTA-Nb109 and imaged (10 min) at 0.5, 1, 2, 4 hours post-injection. The mice were pre-treated with Sindilizumab (5 mg/kg) one day in advance in the blocking group. The mice were anesthetized with 1.5%–2% isoflurane in 0.5 L/min flow of oxygen. Dynamic images had been collected continuously in two hours. All the images were reconstructed using three-dimensional ordered subset expectation maximization (OSEM 3D/SP-MAP) without attenuation correction and then processed through the Siemens Inveon Research Workplace (IRW2.0.0.1050). The interest regions were drawn over both tumors and central organs, and the average signal levels in the regions were measured.

Static microPET scans were performed on an Inveon microPET scanner (Siemens Medical Solutions, Erlangen, Germany). Dynamic microPET/MRI scans were performed on a 9.4 T Bruker BioSpec 94/30 USR with PET insert (Bruker Biospin, Ettlingen, Germany). In order to monitor and compare the changes of PET images by iron removal drugs. C57BL/6 mice were intravenously injected with 5 × 10689Zr‐radiolabeled bone marrow cells, 8 × 10589Zr‐radiolabeled MSCs, and 5 × 10668Ga‐radiolabeled bone marrow cells via the tail vein. The radioactivity of each mouse was 180−185, 80−90, and 3.3–3.7 MBq, respectively. For 68Ga imaging, 10‐min‐long static PET scans were conducted at 2, 4, and 6 h p.i.

Quantitative PET Imaging Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PET scans were performed using an Inveon microPET scanner (Siemens Medical Solutions, Germany). About 3.7 MBq of 68Ga labeled tracer was administered via tail vein injection under isoflurane anesthesia. The dynamic image acquisitions were continued from the beginning to 60 min after the administration. For each scan, regions of interest (ROIs) were drawn using vendor software (ASI Pro 5.2.4.0) on decay-corrected whole-body coronal images. The radioactivity concentrations (accumulation) were obtained from mean pixel values within the multiple ROI volume and then converted to MBq per milliliter. These values were then divided by the administered activity to obtain (assuming a tissue density of 1 g/ml) an image-ROI-derived percent injected dose per gram (%ID/g).

High-resolution PET imaging was performed using two identical small animal Inveon microPET scanner (Siemens Medical Solutions, Knoxville, USA) with a spatial resolution of 1.4 mm in the reconstructed images (field of view [FOV]: transaxial, 10 cm; axial, 12.7 cm).63 (link) By applying iterative ordered subset expectation maximization (OSEM) 2D algorithm for reconstruction, list mode data were processed. Mice were anesthetized with 1.5% isoflurane (Abbott, Wiesbaden, Germany) vaporized with O2 (1.5 L/min) and injected intravenously (i.v.) into the tail vein with 8.3 ± 1.3 MBq [18F]FDG. After tracer injection, animals were kept anesthetized for 60 min, in an anesthesia box, placed on a heating pad to maintain body temperature of animals during tracer uptake time. Shortly before the end of the uptake time, mice were placed in the FOV of the PET scanner on a warmed (37°C) scanner bed. Static (10-min) PET scans were performed on weeks 0, 4, 6, and 8 after T cell application. Data were corrected for decay, normalized to the injected activity, and analyzed using Pmod Software (PMOD Technologies, Zurich, Switzerland) by drawing regions of interest over the intestine.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
