Description
p53 Luciferase Reporter Lentivirus | 78666 | Gentaur US, UK & Europe Disrtribition
Category: Apoptosis/AAV virus
Application: Screen for activators or inhibitors of p53 signaling pathway Generate a stable p53 luciferase reporter cell line (puromycin resistant) following puromycin selection and limiting dilution cloning
Background: p53 is a transcription factor and tumor suppressor very frequently mutated in human cancer and often termed "guardian of the genome". Activated by DNA damage, oxidative stress, or deregulated oncogene expression, p53 binds to a specific site in the promoter region of target genes and leads to the transcriptional activation of downstream genes involved in DNA repair, cell cycle arrest, senescence, and apoptosis. Inactivation of p53 promotes genome instability and directly contributes to cell transformation.
Description: The p53 Luciferase Reporter Lentiviruses are replication incompetent, HIV-based, VSV-G pseudotyped lentiviral particles that are ready to transduce most types of mammalian cells, including primary and non-dividing cells. The particles contain a firefly luciferase gene driven by p53 response elements located upstream of the minimal TATA promoter (Figure 1) and an antibiotic selection gene (puromycin) for the selection of stable clones. After transduction, p53-regulated gene expression in the target cells can be monitored by measuring the luciferase activity.
