Abstract excerpt
Recent advances in nuclear medicine have allowed for positron emission tomography (PET) to track transgenes in cell-based therapies using PET reporter gene/probe pairs. A promising example for such reporter gene/probe pairs are engineered nucleoside kinases that effectively phosphorylate isotopically labeled nucleoside analogues. Upon expression in target cells, the kinase facilitates the intracellular...
