pNL1.3 CMV [secNluc/CMV] Vector

The pNL1.3[secNluc], pNL3.3[secNluc/minP], pNL2.3[secNluc/Hygro] and pNL1.3.CMV[secNluc/CMV] Vectors offer a secreted small luciferase reporter in various promoter-driven or promoterless configurations for expression in mammalian cells. One of the promoterless vectors carries hygromycin resistance gene for stable expression in cells. An additional secreted NanoLuc luciferase option is the pNLF1-secN [CMV/Hygro] Vector. NanoLuc (Nluc) luciferase is a small enzyme (19.1kDa) engineered for optimal performance as a luminescent reporter. The enzyme is about 100-fold brighter than either firefly (Photinus pyralis) or Renilla reniformis luciferase using a novel substrate, furimazine, to produce high intensity, glow-type luminescence. The luminescent reaction is ATP-independent and designed to suppress background luminescence for maximal assay sensitivity.
