Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: In this article, we describe a series of new human-derived reporter genes based on human deoxycytidine kinase (dCK) suitable for clinical PET. METHODS: Native dCK and its mutant reporter genes were tested in vitro and in vivo for their phosphorylation of pyrimidine- and acycloguanosine-based radiotracers including 2'-deoxy-2'-fluoroarabinofuranosylcytosine,...
