Gaussia Luc vector for luciferase assays, expression vectors, Pierce™

Gaussia Luc vectors contain a gene cloned from the copepod, Gaussia princeps. The gene encodes a naturally-secreted bioluminescent Gaussia luciferase (approx. 20 kDa), which enables measurement of the reporter activity in media (for real-time assays) and in cell lysates.

Optimized for high expression in mammalian systems
Multiple cloning site (MCS) provides versatility for transfer of regulatory elements from one plasmid to another
Transcription termination site (Ter), Lac operator (Lac O1) and transcriptional pause site (TPS) used to minimize background by reducing transcriptional read-through
Both puromycin (Pur) and ampicillin (Amp) markers for drug selection in mammalian and bacterial cells, respectively
High-copy pUC bacterial DNA replication origin

pMCS-Gaussia Luc vector is a multiple cloning site plasmid designed to accept a promoter sequence for study of gene regulation using the naturally secreting Gaussia luciferase reporter.

pCMV-Gaussia Luc vector is a derivative of the pMCS-Gaussia Luc vector containing the Gaussia luciferase gene under the control of the CMV (Cytomegalovirus) promoter. Strong (CMV) constitutive promoters for co-transfection and normalization.

pTK-Gaussia Luc vector is a derivative of the pMCS-Gaussia Luc vector containing the Gaussia luciferase gene under the control of the Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) thymidine kinase (TK) promoter. Weak (TK) constitutive promoters for co-transfection and normalization.
