AAV with CMV-IVS promoter driven fLuc
This AAV expresses fLuc driven by an ubiquitous CMV-IVS promoter.
The CMV-IVS promoter is about 1.1 kb in length and consists of the commonly used CMV promoter/enhancer and the intron (IVS) from beta-globin . The presence of intron elements was shown to give a higher level of transgene expression than that of the original CMV promoter/enhancer.
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 an ubiquitous CMV-IVS promoter. Available in AAV1, AAV2, AAV5, AAV6, AAV8, AAV9, AAV-DJ and other serotypes.
