Description
Background
Anti luciferase Antibody recognizes luciferase that is commonly used in biological research as a reporter to assess the transcriptional activity in cells that are transfected with a genetic construct containing the luciferase gene under the control of a promoter of interest. Luciferase can also be used to detect the level of cellular ATP in cell viability assays or for kinase activity assays. Additionally proluminescent molecules that are converted to luciferin upon activity of a particular enzyme can be used to detect enzyme activity in coupled or two-step luciferase assays. Such substrates have been used to detect caspase activity and cytochrome P450 activity, among others.
Application Note
Anti-Luciferase Antibody has been tested in Western Blot, IHC, IF, and ELISA. Expect a band ~60kDa in appropriate cell lysates. Although not tested, this antibody would be useful in immunoprecipitation, immunocytochemistry, and most immunological methods requiring high titers and specificity.
Purity/Specificity
This product is an IgG fraction antibody purified from monospecific antiserum by a multi-step process which includes delipidation, salt fractionation and ion exchange chromatography followed by extensive dialysis against the buffer stated above. Assay by immunoelectrophoresis resulted in a single precipitin arc against anti-Goat Serum as well as purified and partially purified Luciferase [Photinus pyralis (Firefly)]. No reactivity is observed against Sea pansy (Renilla reniformis) luciferase.
