MRI of tumor T cell infiltration in response to checkpoint inhibitor therapy by Stephanie Dudzinski, Kathryn E Beckermann, Kirsten Young, Eliot McKinley, Jeffrey C Rathmell, Junzhong Xu, John C Gore, J Oliver McIntyre

“…Here, we proposed an innovative concept that a sufficiently large influx of tumor infiltrating T cells, which have a smaller diameter than cancer cells, will change the diameter distribution and decrease the average size of cells within a volume to a degree that can be quantified by non-invasive MRI.Methods We validated our hypothesis by studying tumor response to combination immune-checkpoint blockade (ICB) of anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA4 in a mouse model of colon adenocarcinoma (MC38). The response was monitored longitudinally using Imaging Microstructural Parameters Using Limited Spectrally Edited Diffusion (IMPULSED), a diffusion MRI-based method which has been previously shown to non-invasively map changes in intracellular structure and cell sizes with the spatial resolution of MRI, in cell cultures and in animal models. …”
