Relevance
Luciferase 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. -

Images
-
ab21176 at 10 µg/mL staining Luciferase in transfected HEK-293 (Human epithelial cell line from embryonic kidney) cells by ICC/IF.
The cells were fixed with methanol and acetone. An FITC conjugated anti-Rabbit IgG was used as the secondary antibody.
Left panel: Un-transfected cells.
Right panel: Transfected cells.
-
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.

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).
