Inhibition of firefly luciferase by general anesthetics: effect on in vitro and in vivo bioluminescence imaging.
UNLABELLED: Bioluminescence imaging is routinely performed in anesthetized mice. Often isoflurane anesthesia is used because of its ease of use and fast induction/recovery. However, general anesthetics have been described as important inhibitors of the luciferase enzyme reaction. AIM: To investigate...
