Product Description:

Lenti Fire™ combines the most sensitive in vivo optical imaging reporter namely the firefly luciferase Luc2 construct  from the pGL4 plasmid with the best gene delivery system, a third generation replication incompetent lentivirus.

Luc2 is the best and brightest firefly luciferase construct for deep tissue in vivo bioluminescence imaging. This enhanced luciferase is codon optimized for mammalian cell cytoplasmic expression. Luc2 emission spectrum peaks at 600nm in mammalian cells.  The substrate is regular D-luciferin.  

An Ubiquitin C promoter drives high constitutive expression of the transgene circumventing the issue of CMV promoter silencing, observed in certain cell lines.

Lentiviral vectors are safe, viral based gene delivery systems that generate long term, sustained expression of transgenes. Lentiviral vectors are able to stably integrate into quiescent, non-dividing as well as dividing cells without silencing and without immune response. Transgene efficiency of close to 100% is common and lentiviruses infect a broad array of species and the most resilient cells.
