AAV with ALB(1.0) promoter driven fLuc
This AAV expresses fLuc driven by a liver ALB(1.0) promoter.
The ALB(1.0) is a shorter version of the ALB(1.4) promoter with a total length of 1.0 Kb. In mouse liver cells, the transgene expression from this ALB(1.0) synthetic promoter is about 3-5 times lower than that of ALB(1.4) promoter but 10-20 fold greater than that of the CMV promoter 10-20 weeks after plasmid injection into mouse liver.
Firefly luciferase (fLuc) is an oxidative enzyme used in bioluminescence and is distinct from a photoprotein. In the luciferase reaction, light is emitted when luciferase acts on the appropriate luciferin substrate. Photon emission can be detected by a light-sensitive apparatus such as a luminometer or modified optical microscope. Firefly luciferase is commonly used as a reporter to assess the transcriptional activity in cells.
Ready-to-use AAV expressing fLuc driven by a liver ALB(1.0) promoter. Available in AAV1, AAV2, AAV5, AAV6, AAV8, AAV9, AAV-DJ and other serotypes.
