Digital Optical Technique Can Be Used To Track Transgene Expression

Published in Gene Therapy Weekly, May 24th, 2001

by Deborah W. Heinrich, PhD, staff medical writer - In experimental models for gene therapy, researchers can assess the effects of transgene expression after vector delivery; however, it is difficult to track actual transgene expression in vivo.

In response to this dilemma, X.M. Yang and colleagues at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, are developing a method for digital optical imaging designed to track transgene expression in vivo.

In the April 2001 issue of Radiology, Yang et al. reported initial steps toward achieving their goal. Using a prototype digital optical imaging system, they observed green fluorescence protein...
