Abstract

Immunocompromised rodents that have been modified to express a fluorescent protein in substantially all tissues are described. These rodents are useful as models for gene expression, tumor progression and angiogenesis. Also provided are model systems where heterologous tissues fluorescing in a first color are transplanted into hosts that have been modified to fluoresce in substantially all tissues with a second color.
