Bioluminescence Imaging in Mouse Models Quantifies β Cell Mass in the Pancreas and After Islet Transplantation

PURPOSE: We developed a mouse model that enables non-invasive assessment of changes in β cell mass. PROCEDURES: We generated a transgenic mouse expressing luciferase under control of the mouse insulin I promoter [mouse insulin promoter-luciferase-Vanderbilt University (MIP-Luc-VU)] and characterized...
