The MH7A cells were transfected with pGL3-hBAFF-Luc and pcDNA-lacZ for monitoring transfection efficiency by β-galactosidase assay. Luciferase activity was determined by incubating cell extracts with luciferase substrate (Promega). Luminescence was measured using luminometer (Berthold Technologies, Oak Ridge, TN, USA). Luciferase units of experimental vector were normalized to the control vector in each sample.31 (link), 32 (link), 48 (link)
