Bioluminescent Protein Bioluminescent Protein SafetySafety
These proteins have already been tested for skin, eye, and oral toxicity (both acute and sub-acute)
These proteins were negative for mutagenicity in the Ames test.
Many pharmaceutical and university research laboratories have maintained animals expressing Luciferase, with no reports of toxicity or failure of animals or cells to thrive due to their presence.
Coelenterazine is a natural antioxidant

Molecular ImagingMolecular Imaging
Molecular imaging represents a paradigm shift in the focus of medical imaging from the visualization of anatomy and physiology to the study of metabolic and physiological processes e.g., cancers, often in real time

Skin Cancer FactsSkin Cancer Facts
• >1 million new cases of skin cancer will be diagnosed in the US this year (>10k will die)• 1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer during their lifetime (BCC, SCC, or melanoma) • 1 in 65 Americans were likely to develop melanoma during their lifetime• Melanoma incidence has increased 690% since 1950• Melanoma is the second most common cancer in women aged 20 to 29 Source: American Academy of Dermatology

Skin Cancer DetectionSkin Cancer Detection
• Screening for skin cancer is a visual exam by patient or dermatologist
• Suspicious lesions get a biopsy
• Highly specific antibodies for melanoma are known and generically available
• There are no skin cancer screening kits on the market today
