MRI Reporter Genes for Noninvasive Molecular Imaging.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the most important imaging technologies used in clinical diagnosis. Reporter genes for MRI can be applied to accurately track the delivery of cell in cell therapy, evaluate the therapy effect of gene delivery, and monitor tissue/cell-specific microenvironments. Commonly used reporter genes for MRI usually include genes encoding the enzyme (e.g., tyrosi...
متن کاملNoninvasive molecular imaging using reporter genes.
Noninvasive reporter gene imaging is a component of molecular imaging. Reporter imaging can provide noninvasive assessments of endogenous biologic processes in living subjects and can be performed using different imaging modalities. This review will focus on radionuclide-based reporter gene imaging as developed and applied in preclinical and clinical studies. Examples of different reporter syst...
متن کاملNoninvasive tracking of gene expression by reporter transgene imaging.
I n this issue of PNAS, the laboratory that discovered leptin (1) reports the development of a novel in vivo imaging strategy that permits noninvasive estimation of leptin expression (2). They have engineered a BAC transgenic mouse strain expressing a luciferase reporter gene under the control of adipocyte-specific leptin regulatory sequences. Because of the ample evidence of correlation betwee...
متن کاملNoninvasive molecular neuroimaging using reporter genes: part I, principles revisited.
SUMMARY In this first article, we review the basic principles of using reporter genes for molecular imaging of the brain in living subjects. This approach is emerging as a valuable tool for monitoring gene expression in diverse applications in laboratory animals, including the study of gene-targeted and trafficking cells, gene therapies, transgenic animals, and more complex molecular interactio...
متن کاملAlkaline phosphatase reporter transposon for identification of genes encoding secreted proteins in gram-positive microorganisms.
We describe the construction of TnFuZ, a genetic tool for the discovery and mutagenesis of proteins exported from gram-positive bacteria. This tool combines a transposable element (Tn4001) of broad host range in gram-positive bacteria and an alkaline phosphatase gene (phoZ) derived from a gram-positive bacterium that has been modified by removal of the region encoding its export signal. Mutagen...
