Quantifying Luciferase Reporter Activity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Collected supernatants were immediately mixed with an equal amount of 1X lysis buffer. Twenty μl of lysed sample was loaded on to a 96-well plate in triplicate. Gaussia luciferase (GLuc) activity was detected using the Renilla Luciferase Assay System (Promega, USA). Relative light units (RLUs) were measured with a spectramax plate reader (L MAXII 384, Molecular Devices, USA). Luminescence was integrated over 10 sec with a 2-second delay and measured upon injection of 50 μl of substrate reagent. For Cypridina luciferase (normalizer) measurement, we used BioLux Cypridina Luciferase Assay kit (NEB, USA) with identical settings to GLuc measurement except we set the integration time to 2 sec.

10–50 ulof culture medium were used to measure GLuc (Renilla Luciferase Assay System, Promega) and CLuc (BioLux® Cypridina Luciferase Assay Kit, NEB). The relative GLuc activity was normalized to CLuc.

Quantifying HBV cccDNA Activity with mcHBV-Gluc

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Gluc signal from mcHBV-Gluc arises from pgRNA, providing a surrogate for cccDNA activity, as it is secreted from cells into the media. Gluc activity in aliquots of media was measured using the reagent for measurement of Renilla luciferase activity in the Dual Reporter Assay system (Promega) because Gaussia and Renilla catalyze their light-producing reactions using the same substrate. To measure Gluc, 10 μL of culture medium was added to 50 μL Renilla luciferase assay reagent (Promega), and luminescence was measured with a luminometer (Lumat LB 9507; Berthold Technologies, Bad Wildbad, Germany) with a 10-second integration. For Cluc, 1.0 μL of culture medium was added to 10 μL Cluc assay solution (BioLux Cypridina Luciferase Assay Kit, New England BioLabs), and luminescence was measured. The relative Gluc activity was normalized to Cluc unless otherwise specified. When using the endpoint mcHBV DNA copy number for normalization, the quantitation of mcHBV-Gluc DNA was conducted through qPCR using primers for the Gluc lesion as follows: 5′-ATGGTGAATGGCGTGAAG-3′ (sense) and 5′-TAGGTGTCATCGCCGCCAGC-3′ (antisense).34 (link)

Measuring Transfected CLuc mRNA Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Synthesized, purified mRNAs were transfected into human embryonic kidney cells using the TransIT-mRNA Transfection Kit as recommended by the manufacturer (Mirus Bio). The expression of the CLuc mRNA was analyzed by measuring the luciferase activity from the media at various time points (15, 30, 60, 90, 120, 180, 240, 300, 360 min post-transfection). The luciferase activity was measured with BioLux Cypridina Luciferase Assay Kit (New England Biolabs) using a Centro LB 960 luminometer (Berthold) in relative light units (RLU).

Quantifying Secreted and Intracellular Luciferase

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
CHO cells carrying the MEEVS‐reporter‐MAC2 were plated at a density of 2 × 105 in 24‐well tissue culture plates and cultured for 48 h. The conditioned media and cells were separately collected and used to measure luciferase activity. Activities of GLuc and CLuc luciferase secreted into the supernatant were measured using a BioLux® Gaussia Luciferase Flex Assay Kit (NEB) and a BioLux® Cypridina Luciferase Assay Kit (NEB), respectively. Twenty microliter of various conditioned cell culture media were transferred to flat solid bottom and opaque‐walled white 96‐well plates (Nunc, Roskilde, Denmark). GLuc and CLuc bioluminescence values were measured immediately after the addition of 50 μL of substrate solution. Expression of ELuc in cells was measured with the Emerald Luc Luciferase Assay Reagent (TOYOBO). Cells were resuspended at a density of 1 × 105 cells per 50 μL with PBS and transferred to flat solid bottom and opaque‐walled white 96‐well plates (Nunc). ELuc bioluminescence values were measured after the addition of 50 μL of assay reagent and incubation for 10 min. An Infinite F500 luminometer (Tecan, Crailsheim, Germany) was used to determine luciferase activity.

Luciferase reporter gene assays were performed as previously described (8 (link)) with the exception that the BioLux Cypridina Luciferase Assay Kit (E3309L, New England Biolabs) was used. All assays were normalized to β-gal activity.

Synthesized, purified mRNAs were transfected into human embryonic kidney cells (HEK 293) using the TransIT-mRNA Transfection Kit (Mirus Bio). The expression from the luciferase mRNA was analyzed by measuring the luciferase activity from the media measured 6 h post-transfection. The luciferase activity was measured with BioLux Cypridina Luciferase Assay Kit (New England Biolabs) using a Centro LB 960 luminometer (Berthold) in relative light units.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
