Localized information on region-selective gene expression in small animals is widely obtained by use of reporter genes inducing light emission. Using these reporter genes for imaging deep inside the human body fluorescent probes are hindered by attenuation, scattering and possible fluorescence quenc

## Abstract ## Background The norepinephrine transporter (NET) is a highβaffinity transporter for catecholamines. Its expression is almost exclusively restricted to the sympathetic nervous system. In this study we evaluated whether the NET can be used as a reporter gene for nonβinvasive imaging of
The gene that encodes the human β£2 subunit of the inhibitory glycine receptor (GLRA2) is located on the X chromosome (Xp22.2) in a candidate region for a number of neurological disorders. Recently, an exclusion mapping strategy identified this region to be concordant in familial Rett syndrome (RTT)
Targeted disruption of the mouse activin receptor type IIB gene (Acvr2b) results in abnormal left-right (LR) axis development among Acvr2b-/- homozygotes [Oh and Li, 1997: Genes Dev 11:1812-1826]. The resulting malformations include atrial and ventricular septal defects, right-sided morphology of th
