Abstract
Firefly luciferase (FLuc)-based in vivo optical imaging technology exerts the non-invasive monitoring of transplanted cells in experimental animal models. This chapter introduces an established cell line that stably expresses a retrovirus-delivered FLuc protein gene. The stable expression does not affect the cell morphology, proliferation, migration, and invasion abilities of the parental cells. After implantation, the bioluminescence signal of FLuc cells truly reflects cell proliferation and survival in vivo, which can provide a reliable method for dynamic detection of in vivo cell transplantation.Entities:
