Functional multiplex reporter assay using tagged Gaussia luciferase
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have developed a multiplex reporter system to monitor multiple biological variables in real-time. The secreted Gaussia luciferase was fused to ten different epitope tags (Gluc(tag)), each expressed in different tumor cells. By immunobinding of the tags followed by Gluc(tag) detection, this system allowed the independent and real-time monitoring of mixed cell cultures in vitro and of mixed subcutaneous and intracranial tumor subpopulations in vivo.

Secreted dual reporter assay with Gaussia luciferase and the red fluorescent protein mCherry
The availability of a wide range of reporter proteins, which can easily be quantitated, has had a major impact on many fields of biomedical research. In some experiments with tissue culture cells, it is necessary to control for differences in transfection efficiency and in other expression parameters. This requirement has been very conveniently met with the popular dual luciferase assay. Its di...
متن کاملA Novel Luciferase Assay For Sensitively Monitoring Myocilin Variants in Cell Culture
PURPOSE Primary open angle glaucoma-associated mutations in myocilin (MYOC) cause protein "nonsecretion," rendering secreted MYOC difficult to detect using conventional techniques. This study focused on developing and using an assay that can quickly and easily detect mutant MYOC secretion. METHODS We fused Gaussia luciferase (eGLuc2) to MYOC variants and expressed the constructs in HEK-293T a...
متن کاملDual-reporter assay using two secreted luciferase genes.
Luciferase is used as a reporter enzyme to estimate gene expression in prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells because the amount of luciferase present is correlated with light intensity in the presence of excess luciferin (1). Furthermore, its sensitivity and range of linear responses are superior to those of other typical reporters (2). When the luciferase gene containing a target promoter region is ...
متن کاملRelative Quantification of Protein-Protein Interactions Using a Dual Luciferase Reporter Pull-Down Assay System
The identification and quantitative analysis of protein-protein interactions are essential to the functional characterization of proteins in the post-proteomics era. The methods currently available are generally time-consuming, technically complicated, insensitive and/or semi-quantitative. The lack of simple, sensitive approaches to precisely quantify protein-protein interactions still prevents...
متن کاملCompetition between Influenza A Virus Genome Segments
Influenza A virus (IAV) contains a segmented negative-strand RNA genome. How IAV balances the replication and transcription of its multiple genome segments is not understood. We developed a dual competition assay based on the co-transfection of firefly or Gaussia luciferase-encoding genome segments together with plasmids encoding IAV polymerase subunits and nucleoprotein. At limiting amounts of...
