In vivo bioluminescence imaging
In vivo Bioluminesence Imaging (BLI) is widely used non invasive imaging method for small animals which is based on the expression of light-emitting enzymes such as firefly or renilla luciferase or that requires luciferin or colenterazine as a substrate.
The emitted light is detected non-invasively in small animals (mice&rats) by high sensitive optical cameras. This imaging modality has the advantage to monitor a huge variety of biological processes (such as proliferation ) in temporal and spatial fashion with high sensitivity and efficiency in living animals.
This website allow to search for the application of BLI in a database formate and thereby enhancing research.
Due to a continuous screening for innovative applications this new information resource will be regularly updated.
