Visualizing gene expression by whole-body fluorescence imaging.
Transgene expression in intact animals now can be visualized by noninvasive techniques. However, the instruments and protocols developed so far have been formidable and expensive. We describe here a system for rapidly visualizing transgene expression in major organs of intact live mice that is simple, rapid, and eminently affordable. Green fluorescent protein (GFP) is expressed in the cells of ...
متن کاملTowards Whole-Body Fluorescence Imaging in Humans
Dynamic near-infrared fluorescence (DNIF) whole-body imaging of small animals has become a popular tool in experimental biomedical research. In humans, however, the field of view has been limited to body parts, such as rheumatoid hands, diabetic feet or sentinel lymph nodes. Here we present a new whole-body DNIF-system suitable for adult subjects. We explored whether this system (i) allows dyna...
متن کاملDetection of myeloma in skeleton of mice by whole-body optical fluorescence imaging.
Development of new therapies for myeloma has been hindered by the lack of suitable preclinical animal models of the disease in which widespread tumor foci in the skeleton can be detected reliably. Traditional means of detecting skeletal tumor infiltration such as histopathology are cumbersome and labor-intensive and do not allow temporal monitoring of tumor progression or regression in response...
متن کاملExternal whole-body image of EGFP gene expression.
Whole-body optical imaging is an external and noninvasive procedure that enables the continuous visual monitoring of malignant growth and spread within intact animals. The human colon adenocarcinoma cell-line HCT-15 was transfected with a pIRES 2-EGFP vector, and stable enhanced green fluorescence protein (EGFP) expression was established (Fig.1). Approximately 10(6) HCT-15 EGFP stable transfec...
متن کاملWhole-field optically sectioned fluorescence lifetime imaging.
We describe a novel three-dimensional fluorescence lifetime imaging microscope that exploits structured illumination to achieve whole-field sectioned fluorescence lifetime images with a spatial resolution of a few micrometers.
