titleOfInvention | Somatotransgenic bioimaging |
abstract | The invention relates to modelling diseases, to screening for compounds that modulate such diseases and to assaying drug metabolism and toxicity in non-human transgenic animals, by a novel technique developed by the inventors known as 'somatotransgenic bioimaging'. The invention thus provides: a method for determining whether the expression of a reporter gene is modulated by a compound or a method of evaluating the metabolism and/or toxicity of a compound, said method comprising: (a) administering said compound to a non-human transgenic animal, generated by gene transduction of one or more specific tissues when in utero or neonatal, with a vector comprising a bioluminescent reporter gene operably linked to a genetic element responsive to a pathology or therapy or to a genetic element responsive to drug metabolism and/toxicity; and (b) determining whether or not of said compound has an effect on the expression of said reporter gene in said specific tissue or tissues and/or determining the extent of any such effect, said determination comprising detecting from the animal bioluminescence caused by the activity of the gene product of the reporter gene. In some embodiments cells pre-transduced with vectors of the invention may also be introduced into the animals instead of delivering the vectors directly. |
