Ubiquitous Luciferase Expression in “Firefly Rats” Does Not Alter the Pancreatic Islet Morphology, Metabolism, and Function

“Firefly rats” ubiquitously express the luciferase reporter gene under the control of constitutively active ROSA26 promoter in inbred Lewis rats. Due to the minimal immunogenicity of luciferase, wide applications of Firefly rats have been reported in solid organ/cell transplantation studies for in v...
