Reporter genes are attached to a regulatory sequence of a gene of interest. When expressed by the host organism, they generate measurable, easily identifiable characteristics that can be used as an indication of whether a gene has been taken up or expressed.
A homogeneous reagent system that enables fast, simple quantitation of both firefly and Renilla luciferase luminescence signals from cells that have not been preconditioned or prelysed.
Combines the advantages of traditional RNAi vectors (stable expression and the ability to use viral delivery) with capabilities for tissue-specific expression and multiple target knockdown from the same transcript
