Bioluminescent system for dynamic imaging of cell and animal behavior.

Abstract:

:The current utility of bioluminescence imaging is constrained by a low photon yield that limits temporal sensitivity. Here, we describe an imaging method that uses a chemiluminescent/fluorescent protein, ffLuc-cp156, which consists of a yellow variant of Aequorea GFP and firefly luciferase. We report an improvement in photon yield by over three orders of magnitude over current bioluminescent systems. We imaged cellular movement at high resolution including neuronal growth cones and microglial cell protrusions. Transgenic ffLuc-cp156 mice enabled video-rate bioluminescence imaging of freely moving animals, which may provide a reliable assay for drug distribution in behaving animals for pre-clinical studies.

  • Specific binding of leukotriene B4 to guinea pig lung membranes.

    abstract::We have demonstrated binding sites for LTB4 in guinea pig lung membranes. Binding of [3H]-LTB4 was of high affinity (Kd = 0.76 nM), saturable and linear with protein concentration (0.2-1.2 mg/ml). Scatchard and Hill's plot analysis indicated a single class of binding site with a Hill's coefficient of 0.99 +/- 0.08 (n ...
