A method to follow the progression of metastasis of a primary tumor, which method comprises observing fluorescence at various locations in an intact animal model is described. Animals which contain GFP producing tumors are useful models to study the mechanism of metastasis, as well as to evaluate candidate protocols and drugs. In addition, subjects already harboring tumors can be treated so as to modify the endogenous tumours to contain GFP, to permit clinical applications.

L'invention concerne une méthode permettant de suivre l'évolution des métastases d'une tumeur primitive. Cette méthode consiste à observer à différents emplacements la fluorescence dans un modèle animal intacte. Les animaux présentant des tumeurs fabriquant la protéine verte fluorescente (GFP) sont des modèles utiles dans l'étude du mécanisme des métastases et dans l'évaluation des médicaments et des protocoles potentiels. En outre, il est possible de traiter les sujets hébergeant déjà des tumeurs de façon à modifier les tumeurs endogènes pour qu'elles contiennent la protéine GFP, afin de permettre des applications cliniques.
