Luciferase Measurements using the ClarityTM Luminescence Microplate Reader
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Reporter genes, such as luciferase, are important tools for studying gene expression. The use of reporter genes allows the in vitro and in vivo measurement of gene expression from virtually any endogenous genetic control element. Luciferase enzyme and its subsequent luminescent reaction is often the gene reporter of choice for many experimental conditions. Here we describe the measurement of luciferase enzyme luminescent activity using the ClarityTM Luminescence Microplate Reader.

Using the ClarityTM Luminescence Microplate Reader to Perform Dual-Luciferase® Assays
Genetic reporting assays are widely used to study gene expression and cellular responses to external stimuli in prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. Dual-reporter assays, as the name implies entails the use of two independent reporter systems simultaneously to improve experimental accuracy. One reporter is usually tied to measuring the response resulting from the experimental conditions and is...
متن کاملLuminescent Determination of ATP Concentrations using the ClarityTM Luminescence Microplate Reader
All living things utilize ATP as a means for storing metabolic energy. Because of this, the detection and quantitation of ATP can be used as a means to detect and/or quantitate microorganisms such as bacteria and somatic cells. The assay used in these studies relies on the ATP-dependence of the firefly luciferase reaction to detect live organisms. Here we describe the use of the ClarityTM Lumin...

متن کاملExpression and Purification of the luciferase enzyme and in Vivo ATP Assay
Introduction: Gene expression and purification of luciferases from the firefly, Lampyris turkestanicus, and optimization of cellular ATP measurements were performed. Methods: cDNA encoding luciferases from Lampyris turkestanicus was transferred from pQE30 vector into pET28a expression vector and pLtu28 was built. Newly constructed vector was expressed in E. coli XL1 Blue and the recombinant l...
متن کاملStudies on PVP hydrogel-supported luminol chemiluminescence: 2. Luminometer calibration and potential analytical applications.
The use of poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) (PVP) hydrogel-supported luminol chemiluminescence (CL) for the automatic determination of hydrogen peroxide and the quantification of the antiradical capacity of Trolox is described. The hydrogel containing luminol and hemin is prepared directly on a 96-well microplate and can be stored for up to 3 months without significant decrease in CL quantum yields....
