Target
- RelevanceLuciferase from the firefly has become one of the more widely used reporter proteins for the study of gene expression. Luciferase catalyzes a bioluminescent reaction which requires the substrate luciferin as well as Mg2+ and ATP. Mixing these reagents with the cell extract containing luciferase, results in a flash of light that decays rapidly. This light can be detected by a luminometer. The total light emission is proportional to the luciferase activity of the sample.

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - firefly Luciferase antibody (ab21176)This image is courtesy of an Abreview submitted by Dr Mal Niladriab21176 at 1/200 dilution staining engineered adult rat stromal stem cells by ICC/IF. The cells were paraformaldehyde (2%) fixed and Triton X-100 (0.1%) was used for cell permealization (15 min incubation time). The cells were incubated with the antibody overnight at 4C. The image shows Luciferase (green-upper right panel), counterstained cell nuclei (DAPI-blue-upper left panel), overlay (lower left panel) and a phase contrast image (lower right panel). The image was taken with a confocal laser scanning microscope equipped with an additional laser differential Interference Contrast (DIC) mode. -
Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Firefly Luciferase antibody (ab21176)This image is courtesy of an anonymous Abreviewab21176 staining mouse mammary carcinoma cells by ICC/IF. Cells were PFA fixed and permeabilized in 0.1% Triton X-100 prior to blocking with a commercial blocking agent. The primary antibody was diluted 1/100 and incubated with the sample for 1 hour at 25°C. An Alexa Fluor® 555 conjugated goat anti-rabbit antibody was used as the secondary. The image shows firefly luciferase (red) in mouse tumour cells and cell nuclei counterstained with Hoechst (blue).
