Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-Firefly Luciferase antibody (AB21176)
ab21176 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).

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-Firefly Luciferase antibody (AB21176)
ab21176 at 1/200 dilution staining engineered adult rat stromal stem cells by ICC/IF.
The cells were fixed in 2% paraformaldehyde and 0.1% Triton X-100 was used for cell permeabilization (15 minutes incubation time). The cells were incubated with the antibody overnight at 4°C. 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.

Biological function summary
Firefly luciferase converts chemical energy into light making it valuable for various biological applications as a reporter gene. It participates in the formation of a complex with its substrates luciferin and ATP resulting in the production of a photon. This enzyme is widely used in molecular and cellular biology experiments to monitor gene expression and study protein-protein interactions due to its luminescent properties.
Pathways
Firefly luciferase functions in the bioluminescent pathway involving the conversion of luciferin to oxyluciferin and light emission. It interfaces with ATP a universal energy carrier which highlights its integration into the cellular energy systems. Firefly luciferase is similar to other oxidative enzymes though it is not directly involved with metabolic pathways like the TCA cycle or glycolysis.
