Imaging hNET reporter gene expression with 124I-MIBG.
UNLABELLED The norepinephrine transporter (NET) has recently been suggested as a useful reporter gene. We have extended this effort by constructing an internal ribosomal entry site (IRES)-linked hNET-green fluorescent protein (GFP) hybrid reporter gene for both nuclear and optical imaging. METHODS A retroviral vector pQCXhNET-IRES-GFP was constructed and used to generate several reporter cell...
متن کاملImaging tri-fusion multimodality reporter gene expression in living subjects.
Imaging reporter gene expression in living subjects with various imaging modalities is a rapidly accelerating area of research. Applications of these technologies to cancer research, gene therapy, and transgenic models are rapidly expanding. We report construction and testing of several triple fusion reporter genes compatible with bioluminescence, fluorescence and positron emission tomography (...
متن کاملPositron-emission tomography reporter gene expression imaging in rat myocardium.
BACKGROUND This study examines the quantitative accuracy, detection sensitivity, and time course of imaging the expression of a mutant herpes simplex type-1 virus thymidine kinase (HSV1-sr39tk) PET reporter gene in rat myocardium by using the PET reporter probe 9-(4-[18F]-Fluoro-3-Hydroxymethylbutyl)-Guanine ([18F]-FHBG) and a small-animal PET (microPET). METHODS AND RESULTS In 40 rats, adeno...
متن کاملOptical imaging of cardiac reporter gene expression in living rats.
BACKGROUND Studies of cardiac gene transfer rely on postmortem analysis using histologic staining or enzyme assays. Noninvasive imaging of the temporal and spatial characteristics of cardiac gene expression in the same subject offers significant advantages. METHODS AND RESULTS Rats underwent direct myocardial injection via left thoracotomy with adenovirus-expressing firefly luciferase (Ad-CMV...
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...
