Description

The IL-8 Promoter Luciferase Reporter Lentivirus are replication incompetent, HIV-based, VSV-G pseudotyped lentiviral particles that are ready to be transduced into almost all types of mammalian cells, including primary and non-dividing cells. The particles contain a firefly luciferase gene driven by the human IL-8 promoter (Figure 1). After transduction, activation of the IL-8 signaling pathway in the target cells can be monitored by measuring the luciferase activity.

Supplied As

Two vials (500 μl x 2) of IL-8 promoter luciferase reporter lentivirus at a titer >5 x 10⁶ TU/ml. The titer will vary with each lot; the exact value is provided with each shipment.

Materials Required But Not Supplied

• Jurkat cells (ATCC #TIB-152)
• Jurkat growth medium (Thaw Medium 2, BPS Bioscience, #60184)
• TNFα (Sigma, #T0157-10UG)
• Polybrene (Millipore, #TR-1003-G)
• 96-well tissue culture treated white clear-bottom assay plate (Corning, #3610)
• One-Step luciferase assay system (BPS Bioscience, #60690)
• Luminometer

Formulation

The lentiviruses were produced from HEK293T cells in medium containing 90% DMEM + 10% FBS.

Storage/Stability

Lentiviruses are shipped with dry ice. For long-term storage, it is recommended to store the lentiviruses at -80°C for up to 12 months from date of receipt. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Titers can drop significantly with each freeze/thaw cycle.

Instructions for Use

See assay protocol for detailed instructions.

Shipping Temperature

-80°C

Notes

Biosafety

The lentiviruses are produced with the third generation SIN (self-inactivation) lentivector which ensures self-inactivation of the lentiviral construct after transduction and integration into the genomic DNA of the target cells. None of the HIV genes (gag, pol, rev) will be expressed in the transduced cells, as they are expressed from packaging plasmids lacking the packing signal.
Although the pseudotyped lentiviruses are replication-incompetent, they require the use of a Biosafety Level 2 facility. BPS recommends following all local federal, state, and institutional regulations and using all appropriate safety precautions.

Warnings

Avoid freeze/thaw cycles.
