Transfecting RAW264.7 Cells with a Luciferase Reporter Gene

Transfection into the macrophage cell line, RAW264.7, is difficult due to the cell’s natural response against foreign materials. We described here a gentle yet robust procedure for transfecting luciferase reporter genes into RAW264.7 cells.

Monitoring Cell-autonomous Circadian Clock Rhythms of Gene Expression Using Luciferase Bioluminescence Reporters

Circadian clocks function within individual cells, i.e., they are cell-autonomous. Here, we describe methods for generating cell-autonomous clock models using non-invasive, luciferase-based real-time bioluminescence technology. Reporter cells provide tractable, functional model systems for studying circadian...

NF-κB-dependent Luciferase Activation and Quantification of Gene Expression in Salmonella Infected Tissue Culture Cells

Here, we present a protocol to quickly and easily measure nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) activation in cell lines expressing NF-κB::luciferase reporter constructs, via measurements of luminescence in the cell lysate. Additionally, gene expression is determined via RT-qPCR isolated from cells infected with Salmonella...

Measuring Mycobacterium smegmatis Mistranslation Rates Using a GFP/Luciferase Reporter System

Source: Chen, Y., et al., Measurement of Specific Mycobacterial Mistranslation Rates with Gain-of-function Reporter Systems. J. Vis. Exp. (2019)This video demonstrates a method to quantify mistranslation in Mycobacterium smegmatis using an inducible GFP and secreted mutant luciferase reporter system. It shows how luminescence resulting from mistranslation is measured and compared to GFP fluorescence to evaluate the impact of a test molecule on translational...
