Luciferase assays

Luciferases are enzymes that use a substrate called luciferin, along with oxygen and ATP, in an energetic process that produces light—like the yellow glow of fireflies. The power of luciferase has been harnessed by scientists to devise reactions whose light output is used to monitor biological processes including gene expression, biomolecular binding, and cell viability.

Here’s a few application notes on luciferase assays to aid in your COVID-19 vaccine research:

• Measuring luciferase expression using the SpectraMax Glo Steady-Luc Reporter Assay Kit
• Dual-Luciferase Reporter (DLR) Assay
• Monitor NF-κB activation with a sensitive dual reporter assay
• Detect dual luciferase expression
• Highly sensitive dual luciferase detection with the SpectraMax DuoLuc Reporter Assay Kit
