Promega pGL4 Luciferase Reporter Vectors 

Description

• Configurations available with the synthetic firefly luc2 (Photinus pyralis) and Renilla hRluc (Renilla reniformis) genes, which have been codon optimized for more efficient expression in mammalian cells
• Both the reporter genes and the vector backbone, including the bla (β-lactamase or Amp^r) and mammalian selectable marker genes for hygromycin (Hygro or Hyg^r), neomycin (Neo or Neo^r) and puromycin (Puro or Puro^r), have been engineered to reduce the number of consensus transcription factor binding sites, reducing background and the risk of anomalous transcription
• The backbone is also supplied with two Rapid Response™ Luciferase Reporter genes (-P, -CP) for each luciferase gene; the proteins encoded by these Rapid Response genes respond more quickly and with greater magnitude to changes in transcriptional activity than their more stable counterparts
• Choice of mammalian selectable markers provides easy transition from transient to stable cells
• Use of a common multiple cloning site and a unique Sfil transfer scheme permits easy transfer from vector to vector

Vector Options

• Basic vectors with no promoter that contain a multiple cloning region for cloning a promoter of choice
• Vectors containing a minimal promoter
• Vectors containing response elements (cAMP, NFAT, NF-κB, GAL4UAS) and a minimal promoter
• Promoter-containing vectors that can be used as expression controls or as coreporter vectors

• For research use only. This product and/or its use is subject to one or more of the following Promega patents: U.S. Pat. Appln. Ser. Nos. 09/645,706; 10/664,341; 10/943,508; U.S. Patents 5,670,356; 6,387,675 and 6,552,179, Australian Patent 698424 and various corresponding patent applications and issued patents. The terms of the limited license conveyed with the purchase of this product are as follows: Researchers may use this product in their own research and they may transfer derivatives to others for such research use provided that at the time of transfer a copy of this label license is given to the recipients and the recipients agree to be bound by the conditions of this label license. Researchers shall have no right to modify or otherwise create variations of the nucleotide sequence of the luciferase gene except that Researchers may: (1) clone heterologous DNA sequences at either or both ends of said luciferase gene so as to create fused gene sequences provided that the coding sequence of the resulting luciferase gene has no more than four deoxynucleotides missing at the affected terminus when compared to the intact luciferase gene sequence, and (2) insert and remove nucleic acid sequences in furtherance of splicing research predicated on the inactivation or reconstitution of the luminescent activity of the encoded luciferase. In addition, Researchers must do one of the following: (1) use luminescent assay reagents purchased from Promega Corporation for all determinations of luminescence activity resulting from the research use of this product and its derivatives; or (2) contact Promega to obtain a license for the use of the product and its derivatives. No other use or transfer of this product or its derivatives is authorized without the express written consent of Promega including, without limitation, Commercial Use. Commercial Use means any and all uses of this product and derivatives by a party for monetary or other consideration and may include but is not limited to use in: (1) product manufacture; and (2) to provide a service, information or data; and/or resale of the product or its derivatives, whether or not such product or derivatives are resold for use in research. With respect to such Commercial Use, or any diagnostic, therapeutic or prophylactic uses, please contact Promega for supply and licensing information. If the purchaser is not willing to accept the conditions of this limited use statement, Promega is willing to accept the return of the unopened product and provide the purchaser with a full refund.
