Resumen

Los ensayos de genes reporteros requieren una normalización cuidadosa para medir con precisión la bioactividad química. La doble normalización que utiliza controles de referencia y positivos mejora la reproducibilidad en las pruebas de muestras ambientales complejas.

In vitro and in vivo Bioluminescence Reporter Gene Imaging of Human Embryonic Stem Cells

With the growing interest in stem cell therapies, molecular imaging techniques are ideal for monitoring stem cell behavior after transplantation. Luciferase reporter genes have enabled non-invasive, repetitive assessment of cell survival, location, and proliferation in vivo. This video will demonstrate how to track hESC proliferation in a living...

Reporter Gene Repression Assay to Study Translational Regulation of a Target Gene

This video demonstrates an in vivo assay in bacteria to study the interaction of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) with RNA. The bacterial cells are transformed with two plasmid constructs — a binding-site plasmid encoding an mRNA containing a fluorescent reporter gene downstream of an RBP-binding site — while an RBP plasmid expresses the RBP proteins under the control of an inducer. Upon inducer-mediated increase in RBP production, the RBPs bind to the mRNA, resulting in translational...
