Cmv renilla luciferase plasmid

Manufactured by Promega
Sourced in United States

The CMV-Renilla luciferase plasmid is a laboratory tool used to express the Renilla luciferase enzyme under the control of the cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter. The Renilla luciferase enzyme can be used as a reporter to monitor gene expression or cellular processes in various experimental systems.

Transfecting Cells via Electroporation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Invitrogen Neon Transfection System (Life Technologies; Carlsbad, CA) was used according to manufacturer’s instructions to transfect cells via electroporation. Each transfection contained 106 cells and 120ng of plasmid DNA comprised of 10ng CMV-GFP plasmid (Promega; Madison, WI), 10ng CMV-Renilla luciferase plasmid (Promega; Madison, WI), 100ng ERE-firefly luciferase plasmid. The ERE-Firefly luciferase (3× ERE TATA luc) plasmid was a gift from Donald McDonnell (Addgene plasmid # 11354) (Hall & McDonnell 1999 (link)). Two pulses, each 1400V and 20 milliseconds, were applied to the transfection mixture and cells were plated in a 96-well plate at a seeding density of 1.05×105 cells per cm2 in antibiotic-free growth media. Cells were allowed to recover in growth media for 40 hours after electroporation and prior to steroid hormone starvation. Cultures were then hormone starved for 24 hours prior to treatment as described in Section 2.1.2.

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.
