Cho et al.23 compared MRI-derived ADC and normalized relative cerebral blood volume (nCBV) values with lymphoid and myeloid cell marker expression levels, demonstrating that CD68 (tumor-associated macrophages; TAMs), CSF1R (TAMs), CD33 (myeloid-derived suppressor cell) and CD4 (regulatory T-cell) levels positively correlate with nCBV values; and CD3e (cytotoxic T-cell) and CD49d (bone marrow-derived cells) negatively correlate with ADC values. The gene discussed is CD33; the disease is neoplasm.
