pmirGLO Dual-Luciferase miRNA Target Expression Vector

The pmirGLO Vector is designed to quantitatively evaluate microRNA (miRNA) activity by the insertion of miRNA target sites downstream or 3´ of the firefly luciferase gene (luc2). 

Description

The pmirGLO Vector is designed to quantitatively evaluate microRNA (miRNA) activity by the insertion of miRNA target sites downstream or 3´ of the firefly luciferase gene (luc2). Firefly luciferase is the primary reporter gene; reduced firefly luciferase expression indicates the binding of endogenous or introduced miRNAs to the cloned miRNA target sequence. This vector is based on Promega dual-luciferase technology, with luc2 used as the primary reporter to monitor mRNA regulation and Renilla luciferase (hRluc-neo) acting as a control reporter for normalization and selection.

Features – Benefits

  • Measure miRNA Function: Reporter activity correlates with miRNA activity.
  • Optimized Reporter Genes: luc2 gene provides highest expression.
  • Combination Renilla/Neomycin Marker: Normalize with Dual-Luciferase® Assay or for stable cell lines, all with one vector.
  • Biologically Relevant Results: The moderate-strength PGK promoter provides sensitive analysis not possible with strong promoters.

Applications

  • miRNA detection.
  • miRNA binding site analysis.
  • Transcript stability study.
  • 3´-UTR analysis.
