Celsense Products - Gene Sense

Gene Sense is a DNA-based reporter that ‘programs’ cells to express their own contrast agent. Distributed by plasmid, Gene Sense can be used to label cells in vitro or in vivo using off-the-shelf vectors. The Gene Sense product is a metalloprotein-based MRI contrast agent that utilizes endogenous iron in the body to gain potency. This enabling technology can be used for pre-clinical imaging studies of gene expression in vivo, as well as for long-term MRI cell labeling and tracking. Detection of Gene Sense relies on conventional ¹H MRI and does not require a substrate or special diet. Gene Sense may be useful in visualizing the delivery of cellular and gene therapeutics, imaging transgenic animal models, and pharmacological profiling of drug candidates.
