The reporter gene is constructed with a &#x0201c;constitutive&#x0201d; promoter for continuous transcriptions or with an &#x0201c;inducible&#x0201d; promoter for controlled transcriptions (<a class="bk_pop" href="#TGL.REF.3">3</a>). Both types of gene constructs have been used in the expression of exogenous genes and/or endogenous genes to monitor the levels of gene delivery and the efficiency in cell/tissue transduction in gene therapy.</p><p>HSV1-TK/GFP/Fluc (TGL, Mw = 130 kDa) is a triple reporter protein used for multimodal <i>in vivo</i> imaging of gene expression (<a class="bk_pop" href="#TGL.REF.4">4</a>) with single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) or fluorescence and bioluminescence imaging. TGL is produced from the expression of a triple-fusion reporter gene (TGL gene) in which transcription and translation are processed through a single open reading frame. TGL consists of three fused protein subunits: HSV1-TK, GFP, and Fluc, where polylysine is used as a linker to connect the protein subunits and to maintain the molecular stability in the fused protein. Each subunit corresponds to a specific imaging modality. HSV1-TK is a homodimer composed of two 376-residue subunits (<a class="bk_pop" href="#TGL.REF.5">5</a>), and it functions as a key enzyme in the pyrimidine-salvage pathway to catalyze the phosphorylation of thymidine (dT) to thymidine monophosphate (dTMP) in the presence of ATP and Mg<sup>2+</sup>. This feature has been used to design antiviral nucleoside analogs (i.e., ganciclovir) for antiviral therapy (<a class="bk_pop" href="#TGL.REF.5">5</a>) and radiolabeled substrates such as radiolabeled 2&#x02019;-fluoro-2&#x02019;-deoxy-1-&#x003b2;-D-arabino-furanosyl-5-iodo-uracil (FIAU) for SPECT imaging (<a class="bk_pop" href="#TGL.REF.6">6</a>). HSV can easily infect a variety of cells in that the expressed HSV1-TK can induce significant cytotoxicity in the presence of nucleoside analogs such as ganciclovir (<a class="bk_pop" href="#TGL.REF.7">7</a>). For this reason, HSV1-TK gene is also widely used as a suicide gene in cancer treatment. <sup>131</sup>I-Labeled FIAU is an active radiolabeled substrate of HSV1-TK that is detectable with SPECT (i.e., <sup>131</sup>I emits gamma-ray at 364 keV (81% abundance) with a half-life time of 8.02 days, which can be detected with a gamma camera or SPECT. GFP is a fluorescent protein of 238 amino acids that emits a bright green fluorescence (&#x003bb;<sub>max</sub> = 509 nm) when illuminated with a blue light (&#x003bb;<sub>max</sub> = 395 nm) (<a class="bk_pop" href="#TGL.REF.8">8</a>). The presence of the GFP subunit allows <i>in vitro</i>/<i>in vivo</i> fluorescence imaging and cell sorting with the fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) technique. Fluc is an oxygenase (Mw = 62 kDa) extracted from <i>Photinus pyralis</i> (<a class="bk_pop" href="#TGL.REF.9">9</a>). In the presence of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and O<sub>2</sub>, Fluc oxidizes the heterocyclic substrate <span class="small-caps">d</span>-luciferin to oxyluciferin and emits light in the wavelength range of 400&#x02013;620 nm (<a class="bk_pop" href="#TGL.REF.10">10</a>). The Fluc subunit allows for planar whole-body bioluminescence imaging of gene-transduced cells.</p></div><div id="TGL.Synthesis"><h2 id="_TGL_Synthesis_">Synthesis</h2><p>[<a href="/sites/entrez?Db=pubmed&#x00026;Cmd=DetailsSearch&#x00026;Term=(%20HSV1-tk%20+%20GFP%20+%20luciferase)+AND+synthesis%0D%0A" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=external&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=uri">PubMed</a>]</p><p>Ponomarev et al. described the preparation of the HSV1-TK/GFP/Fluc expression vector in multiple steps (<a class="bk_pop" href="#TGL.REF.4">4</a>). First, a construct SFG-HSV1-TK/GFP was obtained (<a class="bk_pop" href="#TGL.REF.11">11</a>). Plasmid pLTKRNL was digested with restriction enzyme <i>Bam</i>HI to generate a 2.2-kb fragment that encoded the open reading frame of HSV1-TK. This fragment was ligated into plasmid pcDNA.1/Zeo to result in the 7.8-kb plasmid pTKZeo3.2; this ligation was followed by sequential digestions with <i>Bam</i>HI and <i>Xma</i>l to produce a 1.2-kb TK fragment. At the same time, plasmid pEGFP-N1 was digested sequentially with <i>BgI</i>II and <i>Xma</i>l to generate a 4.7-kb DNA fragment containing the open reading frame of GFP. The 1.2-kb fragment was then ligated with the 4.7-kb fragment to form the 5.9-kb expression plasmid pTKGFP, in which the TK-GFP cDNA was under control of the cytomegalovirus immediately early (IE) promoter. After the ligation, the plasmid was cloned into a retroviral vector, the Moloney murine leukemia virus-based SFG vector, to yield SFG-TK-GFP. Second, two modified constructs, SFG-NES-HSV1-TK/GFP and SFG-&#x00394;45-HSV1-TK/GFP, were obtained (<a class="bk_pop" href="#TGL.REF.6">6</a>). To generate SFG-NES-HSV1-TK/GFP, the Xenopus cDNA for encoding the 20 amino acids in the nuclear export signal (NES) sequence of the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase kinase (MAPKK) was inserted into the N-terminus of HSV1-TK/GFP between His-9 and Ala-10 using <i>Mlu</i>L. To generate SFG-&#x00394;45-HSV1-TK/GFP, the &#x00394;45-HSV1 cDNA lacking the first 45 amino acids (135 nucleotides) of the original HSV1-TK was amplified with selective primers and subsequently cloned between the <i>Nco</i>l sites of SFG-HSV1-TK/GFP. Third, the commercially available cDNA of fused <i>Aequorea victoria</i> eGFP and Fluc (eGFP/Fluc) was obtained from the plasmid pEGF/Pluc and subcloned into the retroviral vector SFG-Ntp to yield the construct SFG-GL (<a class="bk_pop" href="#TGL.REF.4">4</a>). Finally, SFG-NES-HSV1-TK/GFP or SFG-&#x00394;45-HSV1-TK/GFP was treated with <i>Nco</i>l and the fragment containing NES-HSV1-TK or &#x00394;45-HSV1-TK was subcloned into the <i>Nco</i>I site of the SFG-GL to produce SFG-NES-HSV1-TK/GFP/Fluc (SFG-NES-TGL) or SFG-&#x00394;45-HSV1-TK/GFP/Fluc (SFG-&#x00394;45-TGL) (<a class="bk_pop" href="#TGL.REF.4">4</a>). [<sup>131</sup>I]-FIAU with &#x0003e;97% radiochemical purity was prepared by the iododestannylation reaction using the tin precursor and carrier-free <sup>131</sup>I.</p></div><div id="TGL.In_Vitro_Studies_Tes"><h2 id="_TGL_In_Vitro_Studies_Tes_"><i>In Vitro</i> Studies: Testing in Cells and Tissues</h2><p>[<a href="/sites/entrez?Db=pubmed&#x00026;Cmd=DetailsSearch&#x00026;Term=(%20HSV1-tk%20+%20GFP%20+%20luciferase)+AND+%22in+vitro%22" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=external&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=uri">PubMed</a>]</p><p>Ponomarev et al. assessed the integrity of the fused reporter proteins with Western blot analysis (<a class="bk_pop" href="#TGL.REF.4">4</a>). The molecular weight of the NES-TGL and &#x00394;45-TGL proteins as determined with Western blot analysis matched the predicted molecular weights. These proteins were further examined with anti-HSV1-TK, anti-GFP, and anti-Fluc antibodies to demonstrate the coexistence of the triple subunits in the full reporter proteins. Ponomarev et al. then imaged the cytoplasmic localizations of the NES-TGL and &#x00394;45-TGL reporter proteins with fluorescence microscopy (<a class="bk_pop" href="#TGL.REF.4">4</a>). Human glioma U87 cells were transduced with the retroviral vectors SFG-NES-TGL or SFG-&#x00394;45-TGL <i>in vitro</i>, followed by a bulk culture for 48 h. The obtained U87-NES-TGL cells or U87-&#x00394;45-TGL cells were sorted for positive GFP expression using FACS with 488-nm excitation beam and 510-nm emission filter. The subcellular localization of NES-TGL and &#x00394;45-TGL was visualized with fluorescence microscopy with similar excitation emission parameters. The GFP/Fluc signal appeared to be lower in the nucleus than in cytoplasm, but it was still detectable. Reporter gene expression in these transduced U87 cells was quantified with FACS, a bioluminescence assay, and a radiotracer [<sup>14</sup>C]-FIAU assay. The level of GFP fluorescence was found to be ~1.3 &#x000d7; 10<sup>3</sup> relative fluorescent units (RU) in the U87-NES-TGL cells and ~2.1 &#x000d7; 10<sup>3</sup> RU in the U87-&#x00394;45-TGL cells. The influx rate constant <i>Ki</i> of <sup>14</sup>C-labeled FIAU was ~1.4 media ml/min per g in the U87-NES-TGL cells and ~1.7 media ml/min per g in the U87-&#x00394;45-TGL cells. The bioluminescence was ~2.8 &#x000d7; 10<sup>3</sup> relative bioluminescence unit (RLU) in the U87-NES-TGL cells and ~4.9 &#x000d7; 10<sup>3</sup> RLU in the U87-&#x00394;45-TGL. The wild-type U87 cells were used as a control. Their measured fluorescence, influx rate, and bioluminescence were negligible.</p></div><div id="TGL.Animal_Studies"><h2 id="_TGL_Animal_Studies_">Animal Studies</h2><div id="TGL.Rodents"><h3>Rodents</h3><p>[<a href="/sites/entrez?Db=pubmed&#x00026;Cmd=DetailsSearch&#x00026;Term=(%20HSV1-tk%20+%20GFP%20+%20luciferase)%20+AND++rodentia" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=external&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=uri">PubMed</a>]</p><p>Ponomarev et al. used three imaging modalities to examine the expression of the triple reporter proteins <i>in vivo</i> (<a class="bk_pop" href="#TGL.REF.4">4</a>). <i>Nu</i>/<i>nu</i> mice (20&#x02013;25 g) were implanted subcutaneously with U87-NES-TGL cells on the right shoulder, with U87-&#x00394;45-TGL cells on the left shoulder, and with wild-type U87 cells on the left flank. The tumors grew to an average size of 5.4 &#x000b1; 2.1 mm and were imaged with whole-body fluorescence, bioluminescence, and gamma camera imaging. For bioluminescence imaging, mice were injected intravenously with 100 &#x003bc;l of D-luciferin solution at a dose of 150 mg/kg, and the images were acquired for 0.5&#x02013;10 s. For the gamma camera imaging, mice received an intraperitoneal injection of 0.9% NaI solution (1 ml) one day before imaging to block the thyroid uptake of radioactive iodide. Then the mice were injected intravenously with [<sup>131</sup>I]-FIAU at a dose of 7.4 MBq per animal. The gamma camera images were collected 24 h after [<sup>131</sup>I]-FIAU injection to allow sufficient clearance of body background radioactivity. The GFP fluorescence was collected with a charge-coupled device (CCD) camera. The average level of gene expression in the implanted U87-NES-TGL tumor was detected as 707 &#x000b1; 36 in fluorescence, 486 &#x000b1; 47 &#x000d7; 10<sup>6</sup> photons/cm<sup>2</sup> per sr in bioluminescence, and 0.47 &#x000b1; 0.08% injected dose (ID)/g in [<sup>131</sup>I]-FIAU accumulation.

After completion of the triple modality imaging, the mice were euthanized and the tissues were harvested for <i>in vitro</i> fluorescence imaging. Bright green fluorescent areas were found in the tumor tissues, demonstrating the presence of TGL labeling.</p></div><div id="TGL.Other_NonPrimate_Mam"><h3>Other Non-Primate Mammals</h3><p>[<a href="/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=PureSearch&#x00026;db=pubmed&#x00026;details_term=%22%20SUBSTANCENAME%22%5BSubstance%20Name%5D%20AND%20%28dog%20OR%20rabbit%20OR%20pig%20OR%20sheep%29" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=external&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=uri">PubMed</a>]</p><p>No publication is currently available.</p></div><div id="TGL.NonHuman_Primates"><h3>Non-Human Primates</h3><p>[<a href="/sites/entrez?Db=pubmed&#x00026;Cmd=DetailsSearch&#x00026;Term=(%20HSV1-tk%20+%20GFP%20+%20luciferase)%20+AND+(primate+non+human)" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=external&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=uri">PubMed</a>]</p><p>No publication is currently available.</p></div></div><div id="TGL.Human_Studies"><h2 id="_TGL_Human_Studies_">Human Studies</h2><p>[<a href="/sites/entrez?Db=pubmed&#x00026;Cmd=DetailsSearch&#x00026;Term=(%20HSV1-tk%20+%20GFP%20+%20luciferase)%20+AND+human" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=external&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=uri">PubMed</a>]</p><p>No publication is currently available.</p></div><div id="TGL.references"><h2 id="_TGL_references_">References</h2><dl class="temp-labeled-list"><dt>1.</dt><dd><div class="bk_ref" id="TGL.REF.1">Massoud T.F. , Singh A. , Gambhir S.S.
