Модель переходной трансгенерации IL-8 для В Виво Долгосрочный мониторинг воспалительных реакций

Overview

This method enables the visualization of IL-8 promoter-dependent inflammation activation in the lungs of mice using non-invasive bioluminescence imaging (BLI). It allows for repeated monitoring of the same animals over a two-month period following the delivery of the luciferase reporter construct.
