[0532] A. Background
[0533] Describes a two-color fluorescence imaging model of tumor-host interactions based on RFP-expressing tumors grown in GFP transgenic mice, enabling two-color visualization of tumor-stroma interactions that Interactions include tumor angiogenesis and infiltration of lymphocytes in the tumor. Transgenic mice expressing GFP under the control of the chicken β-actin promoter and cytomegalovirus enhancer were used as hosts (Okabe, M., et al., FEBS Lett (1997) 407:315-319). Under blue excitation light, all tissues in this transgenic line fluoresced green. Mouse melanocyte B16F0 (B16F0-RFP) expressing RFP can be transduced with pLNCX2-DsRed-2-RFP plasmid. B16F0-RFP tumors and GFP-expressing host cells can be clearly visualized simultaneously. High-resolution dual-color imaging can distinguish tumor cells and host tissues down to the single-cell level. Host cells including fibroblasts, tumor infiltrating lymphocytes, dendritic cells, GFP-expressing blood...
