Visualization of the Dynamics of Gene Expression in the Living Mouse by Amy Ryan, Heidi Scrable

“…Reporter genes can monitor the status and activity of recombinant genomes in a diverse array of organisms, from bacteria and yeast to plants and animals. We have combined luciferase reporter genes with a conditional gene expression system based on regulatory elements from the lac Operon of Escherichia coli to visualize the dynamics of gene expression in realtime in the living mouse. …”

Clearance In Vivo of Instilled [H]Cholesterol from the Rat Lung by Michael A. Wyder, Shannon M. Griffin, D. Nicole Worsham, Edna S. Kaneshiro

“…However, cholesterol turnover in vivo has not been measured and it is not known how long steroidal compounds persist in the lung in intact animals. Here we report on experiments in which radiolabeled cholesterol was instilled into the lungs of rats, then at various postinstillation periods, radioactive sterols in lavage fluid, and in postlavage whole lungs were measured in individual animals. …”
