REPORTER GENE IMAGING

 In reporter gene imaging,the reporter gene is incorporated into the nuclear DNA of the target cells by transfection (e.g. viral vector.The activated reporter gene is transcribed into the corresponding messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA).Messenger RNA (mRNA)  is translated to the reporter protein.A reporter substrate  is admninistered.The reporter substrate interacts with the reporter protein to produce an imaging signal (e.g. gamma ray, paramagnetic effect).
