Creating a cell line with an indicator of a functional signaling pathway is useful for deciphering the components in a signaling pathway. These tools are made by insertion of multiple repeats of a response element upstream of a minimal promoter (minP). Promega has designed vectors that report the activity of a variety of pathways using the optimized luc2 firefly luciferase gene in the pGL4 backbone. These vectors also have a hygromycin resistance selectable marker, allowing use either in transient transfection experiments or for selection of a stable cell line. In addition, some of these predesigned response element vectors also are available stable cell lines (GloResponse™ Cell Lines) to speed your research.
There are more vectors for measuring cytokine signaling pathways and additional signaling pathways.
Applications
- Cell transcription.
- Virus-cell interactions.
- Compound screening.
- Post-translational modifications.
- GPCR signaling.
- Cell signaling.
About the pGL4 Reporter Vectors
The pGL4 Vectors offer increased reporter gene expression with codon optimization of synthetic genes for mammalian expression and reduced background and risk of expression artifacts with removal of cryptic DNA regulatory elements and transcription factor binding sites. Firefly luciferase has options that offer improved temporal response with the destabilized Rapid Response™ luciferase genes.

Representative data for pGL4.37[luc2P/ARE/Hygro] Vector in HEK293 cells upon stimulation with tBHQ or D,L-Sulforaphane. HEK293 cells were transiently transfected with pGL4.37[luc2P/ARE/Hygro] and pGL4.75[hRluc>/CMV] Vectors and assayed in 96-well format after 18 hours stimulation with tBHQ or D,L-Sulforaphane as described. Firefly luciferase luminescence normalized to the Renilla> luciferase control is shown, with error bars indicating the S.E.M. for six replicates. Luminescence was detected after addition of Dual-Glo® reagents, using a GloMax® 96 instrument with a 0.5 second integration time. |
