Development of an inducible mouse model of iRFP713 to track recombinase activity and tumour development in vivo
Abstract While the use of bioluminescent proteins for molecular imaging is a powerful technology to further our understanding of complex processes, fluorescent labeling with visible light fluorescent proteins such as GFP and RFP suffers from poor tissue penetration and high background autofluorescen...
