Cancer Res. 2010 Aug 1;70(15):6109-13. doi: 10.1158/0008-5472.CAN-09-3774. Epub 2010 Jul 14.

Abstract

Cancer immunotherapies can be guided by cellular imaging techniques, which can identify the presence or absence of immune cell accumulation in the tumor tissue in vivo and in real time. This review summarizes various new and evolving imaging techniques employed for tracking and monitoring of adoptive natural killer cell immunotherapies.
