The Thermo Scientific pCMV-Gaussia Luc vector is a derivative of the pMCS-Gaussia Luc vector containing the Gaussia luciferase gene under the control of the CMV (Cytomegalovirus) promoter. This constitutive expression vector can be used as a normalization control to account for experimental variation in combination with other reporters.
Features of the pCMV-Gaussia Luc vector:
• Strong (CMV) constitutive promoters for co-transfection and normalization
• Naturally-secreting Gaussia luciferase gene, optimized for high expression in mammalian systems
• Multiple cloning site (MCS) provides versatility for transfer of regulatory elements from one plasmid to another
• Transcription termination site (Ter), Lac operator (Lac O1), and transcriptional pause site (TPS) used to minimize background by reducing transcriptional read-through
• Both puromycin (Pur) and ampicillin (Amp) markers for drug selection in mammalian and bacterial cells, respectively
• High-copy pUC bacterial DNA replication origin
The Gaussia Luc Vectors contain a gene cloned from the copepod, Gaussia princeps. The gene encodes a naturally-secreted bioluminescent Gaussia luciferase (approx. 20kDa), which enables measurement of the reporter activity in media (for real-time assays) and in cell lysates.
These vectors are subject to a limited use label license.
