A. D. B. E. C. F. Supplementary Figure 1. [18F]FHBG is not retained, phosphorylated, or incorporated into the DNA of B16 cells. (A-C) For the in vitro studies a panel of cell lines was used: B16 melanoma cells, BaF3 wt and BaF3 with sr39tk over-expressed, primary activated pmel T-cells and activated pmel cells transduced with sr39tk. (D-F) For the in vivo studies B16 and BaF3-sr39tk cells were subcutaneously injected into mice 1 week prior to i.v. injection of [18F]FHBG. After a 1hr uptake, mice were sacrificed and tumors were harvested. The following measurements were made: (A, D) amount of [18F]FHBG retained in cells, (B, E) amount of [18F]FHBG phosphorylated, (C, F) amount of [18F]FHBG incorporated in DNA after 4hr.

Detection of sr39tk+ T-cells over the nonspecific accumulation of [18F]FHBG in B16 tumors. (A) C57BL/6 mice were implanted s.c. with 1 x 105 B16 cells in the right shoulder on day 1. Mice with tumors >1cm in diameter were imaged with [18F]FHBG microPET/CT on day 8. Immediately after imaging, 5x106 sr39tk+ T-cells were injected intra-tumorally. After 30 min, a second dose of [18F]FHBG was injected i.v.. Following a 1hr uptake of the probe mice were again imaged by microPET/CT.
