Molecular Imaging Using Bioluminescence
Recent progress in the development of non-invasive imaging technologies continues to strengthen the role of molecular imaging in biological research. Small animal imaging with bioluminescence has been validated recently in a variety of research models and have been shown to provide continuous quantitative monitoring of the location(s), magnitude, and time-variation of gene delivery and/or expre...
متن کاملBioluminescence: a versatile technique for imaging cellular and molecular features.
Bioluminescence is a ubiquitous imaging modality for visualizing biological processes in vivo. This technique employs visible light and interfaces readily with most cell and tissue types, making it a versatile technology for preclinical studies. Here we review basic bioluminescence imaging principles, along with applications of the technology that are relevant to the medicinal chemistry communi...
متن کاملOverview of bioluminescence tomography--a new molecular imaging modality.
According to the NIH roadmap, optical molecular imaging has an instrumental role in the development of molecular medicine. Great efforts, including those with bioluminescent imaging techniques, have been made to understand the linkage between genes and phenotypic expressions in normal and disease biology. Currently, bioluminescent techniques are widely used in small animal studies. However, mos...
متن کاملMolecular imaging of cardiac cell transplantation in living animals using optical bioluminescence and positron emission tomography.
BACKGROUND The current method of analyzing myocardial cell transplantation relies on postmortem histology. We sought to demonstrate the feasibility of monitoring transplanted cell survival in living animals using molecular imaging techniques. METHODS AND RESULTS For optical bioluminescence charged-coupled device imaging, rats (n=20) underwent intramyocardial injection of embryonic rat H9c2 ca...
متن کاملCellular bioluminescence imaging.
Bioluminescence imaging of live cells has recently been recognized as an important alternative to fluorescence imaging. Fluorescent probes are much brighter than bioluminescent probes (luciferase enzymes) and, therefore, provide much better spatial and temporal resolution and much better contrast for delineating cell structure. However, with bioluminescence imaging there is virtually no backgro...
