Abstract:The piggyBac transposon system is known to non-viral integrate exogenous genes to chromosomes of mammalian cells. For reporter gene imaging, this transposon system is believed to efficiently establish xenograft tumor model with low immunogenicity. Because tumor cells usually exhibit genomic instability, it is important to investigate if piggyBac mediated transduction of reporter genes would change tumor characteristics. In this study, reporter gene imaging mediated by the piggyBac transposon system was explo… Show more
