Isotopic labelling of dendritic cells |
|
|
How antigenic signals are transfered to lymph nodes in order to initiate the immune reaction, is a crucial question in immunotherapy, particularly when it involves exogenous dendritic cells as antigen-presenting cells. Here the authors used isotopic labeling of exogenous dendritic cells to address this question...

3-pinhole collimator for small animal SPECT systems |
|
|
Vanhove and colleagues at the VUB present a newly designed 3-pinhole collimator that improves the uniformity of the axial spatial resolution and sensitivity in pinhole SPECT and consequently extends the axial field of view, which will be highly useful in whole-body small-animal imaging.
