Abstract

In vivo reporter genes can be used in different ways in molecular cardiology. In this paper studies are presented using the green fluorescent protein and one of its mutants, S65T-GFP, as in vivo reporter genes. With this new molecular tool we studied cell type specificity of the murine ventricular myosin light chain 2 promoter, positive cell identification prior to patch clamp procedures, and the use of fluorescence activated cell sorting of transiently transfected mammalian cells.
