Non-invasive evaluation of physiological response in a transgenic mouse
First Claim
1. A transgenic mouse comprising a panel of expression cassettes, said transgenic mouse produced by a method comprising the steps ofintroducing a first expression cassette comprising a first promoter derived from a first stress-inducible gene into a mouse at an embryonic stage, said promoter operably linked to sequences encoding a first light generating polypeptide, andintroducing a second expression cassette comprising a second promoter derived from a second stress-inducible gene into said mouse at an embryonic stage, said promoter operably linked to sequences encoding a second light generating polypeptide and said second promoter derived from a different stress-inducible gene than said first promoter.

Abstract
The present invention relates to panels of reporter expression cassettes and the generation of transgenic non-human animals, wherein said reporter expression cassettes have selected control elements operable linked to reporter genes. The invention includes methods of use thereof for the identification and characterization of the effects of compounds administered to the live transgenic non-human animals.
