In vivo Luciferase Imaging of Particles

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Renilla luciferase production inside particles in vivo was monitored using IVIS 200 imaging system (PerkinElmer, Inc., Massachusetts, USA). Fifty µL of particles with luciferase-encoding DNA or without a DNA template were prepared and mixed with 10 µL of 170 µM of coelentrazine (Promega, Wisconsin, USA) - the enzyme’s substrate. The particles were kept on ice to eliminate in vitro protein production. The prepared mixtures of protein producing particles were injected intra-tumor to 10-week-old female BALB/c mice bearing a 4T1 cell-induced tumor. The experiment was carried 6 days after the tumor establishment. The mice were scanned in 10 minutes intervals for 1 hour, using the following IVIS scanning parameters: luminescence scan, working distance C, exposure time of 60 sec, large binning large and 1 f/s. During the experiment, the mice were anesthetized and their body temperature was kept using a red lamp.

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.
