FIGURE 15.5 Quantitative uptake of CLIO–Tat into different cell types. Different cell types<br />

were incubated with increasing concentration of 111 In-CLIO–Tat or 111 In-CLIO for 1 h at<br />

37°C. Mean ± SD of uptake is plotted for: (a) CD34+ cells, (b) mouse neural progenitor cells<br />

(C17.2), (c) human CD4+ lymphocytes, and (d) mouse splenocytes. (From Lewin, M. et al.,<br />

Nat. Biotechnol., 18, 410, 2000. With permission.)<br />

Without the assistance of Tat peptide, the CLIO particle cannot pass through cell<br />

membrane efficiently.<br />

The next two questions we addressed were (1) what is the intracellular magnetic<br />

half-life of CLIO–Tat in cells and (2) what is the fate of cellular CLIO–Tat in actively<br />

dividing cells? To answer the first question we performed time dependence studies<br />

using MR imaging of labeled lymphocytes. Results from these studies showed that<br />

the transverse relaxation time (T2, T2*) of magnetically labeled lymphocytes<br />

returned to normal approximately 7 to 14 days (depending on amount internalized)<br />

after labeling, indicating that the magnetic core of CLIO–Tat is biodegraded.<br />
