Antisense imaging: And miles to go before we sleep?

Labeled oligonucleotide analogues for antisense imaging of messenger RNA (mRNA) have great potential for detection of endogenous gene expression in vivo. Successful antisense imaging may be useful for detecting cellular gene expression patterns and early molecular changes in disease. Conclusive demonstration of this technique has been hindered by formidable challenges in surmounting biological barriers and detecting low concentrations of target mRNA. Recent advances in the development of novel antisense molecules, high specific activity radiolabeling chemistry, sophisticated drug targeting technology, and complementary molecular imaging modalities make it quite possible that true antisense imaging will be realized in the near future. © 2003 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
