Description: The RARα Reporter Cellular Assay Pack provides all the key reagents required to monitor the activity of retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARα). The pack contains the RARα Reporter (Luc)-HEK293 Cell Line, a luciferase reporter cell line that contains a firefly luciferase gene under the control of retinoic acid response elements stably integrated into HEK293 cells along with full length human RARα (GenBank Accession No. NM_000964). This cell line is functionally validated for the response to the stimulation of all-trans retinoic acid, and the expression of RARα is confirmed by Western blotting._x000D_Additionally, the pack includes cell culture medium (Thaw Medium 6) that has been optimized for use with HEK293 cells. Thaw Medium 6 includes 10% fetal bovine serum and 1% Pen/Strep. Finally, the pack provides the ONE-Step™ Luciferase Detection System. This reagent provides highly sensitive, stable detection of firefly (Photinus pyralis) luciferase activity. The ONE-Step luciferase reagent can be used directly in cells in growth medium, and can be detected with any luminometer; automated injectors are not required.

Description: The RARβ Reporter Cellular Assay Pack provides all the key reagents required to monitor the activity of retinoic acid receptor beta (RARβ). The pack contains the RARβ Reporter (Luc)-HEK293 Cell Line, a luciferase reporter cell line that contains a firefly luciferase gene under the control of retinoic acid response elements stably integrated into HEK293 cells along with full length human RARα (GenBank Accession No. P10826-2).

Description: The One-Step Luciferase Assay System is designed to be used for high-throughput, sensitive quantitation of firefly luciferase activity in mammalian cell culture. The reagent consists of two components, a Luciferase Reagent Buffer (Component A) and Luciferase Reagent Substrate (Component B). Component A and Component B are combined to form a working solution that contains all the necessary components for cell lysis and luciferase quantitation. This assay system has several features:
• Sensitive - highly sensitive detection of firefly luciferase activity.
• Stable - the signal output is stable for more than two hours, providing flexibility with regard to incubation time
• Convenient - simple one-step, homogeneous protocol.
• High-throughput - one-step homogeneous protocol minimizes handling steps to support high-throughput screening applications
• Compatibility - works well with a variety of common media containing 0-10% serum and phenol red.
• Instrumentation - does not require a luminometer with injectors.

Description: The bald lentiviral pseudovirion was produced without envelope glycoproteins such as VSV-G or SARS-CoV-2 spike. It contains a firefly luciferase and eGFP cassette (Luc-P2A-eGFP) as the reporters, driven by a CMV promoter. The bald lentiviral pseudovirion can serve as a negative control when studying virus entry initiated by specific interactions between virus particles and receptors._x000D_
