Immunotherapy with dendritic cell (DC)-based vaccines for treating glioma shed light in the treatment of brain tumors. To access the efficiency of DC vaccine, it is necessary to monitor the migration of DCs in the CNS or lymphoid organs. Our goal is to target molecules, which are involved in regulating DC migration within the glioma. In this study we showed that 19F/1H MRI can monitor the migration of DCs and identified ERK1 as a factor involved in DC migration.
