Secreted Gaussia Luciferase Lentivirus CMV Promoter or EF1A Promoter
The Secreted Gaussia Luciferase 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 constitutively express secreted Gaussia luciferase under a CMV promoter (Figure 1) or EF1A promoter (Figure 2).

• CHO-K1 cells (ATCC #CCL-61)
• CHO growth medium or use BPS Thaw Medium 3 (BPS Bioscience #60186)
• Polybrene (Millipore, #TR-1003-G)
• 96-well tissue culture treated white clear-bottom assay plate (Corning, #3610)
• Coelenterazine native (NanoLight Technology, #303-500): Make a 2 mM stock in Ethanol
• CHO lysis buffer: PBS+1% Triton X-100
• Luminometer
The lentiviruses were produced from HEK293T cells in medium containing 90% DMEM + 10% FBS.
