Figure 3c:

Graphs show ⁸⁹Zr-oxine labeling did not interfere with survival and proliferation of CTLs. (a) CTLs with and without ⁸⁹Zr-oxine labeling underwent similar proliferation at TCR stimulation on day 0 (+) followed by a contraction phase after withdrawal of the stimulation on day 3 (-) (n = 3, representative of two independent experiments, two-sided global P = .125 at Wilcoxon test). (b) ⁸⁹Zr-oxine complex was retained in CTLs during rapid proliferation. A decrease was observed when the cell number decreased in the contraction phase. (c) The specific activity of CTLs declined during the expansion phase but was maintained after the contraction phase. Error bars indicate standard deviations.
