<p>Apparatus is provided for detecting a concentration of an analyte in a subject. The apparatus includes a housing (20) adapted to be implanted in the subject. The housing (20) comprising an optical detector (30) adapted to detect a level of fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). The apparatus also comprises live cells (26) genetically engineered to produce, in a patient's body, a sensor protein comprising a fluorescent protein donor, a fluorescent protein acceptor, and a binding protein for the analyte. Other embodiments are also described.</p> |
