Studying the migratory behavior of immune cells is pivotal to better understand the development of immune-mediated pathologies, It has been already demonstrated that fluorine ( 19 F) MRI enables spatio-temporal tracking of dendritic cells (DC) in vivo . The aim of this study is to overcome the 19 F sensitivity barriers by increasing the uptake of 19 F nanoparticles in DC. Therefore we explored the impact of aminophospholipids incorporated into the 19 F nanoparticle on uptake by DC and on labeling. We show how this incorporation resulted in fluorine uptake increase confirmed by 19 F spectroscopy and microscopy, with minor changes in the migration capability of DC.
