FAQ
Q: How to select an appropriate reporter gene system?
A: Reporter gene selection should be based on experimental requirements and detection conditions:
(1) For real-time observation, choose fluorescent proteins.
(2) For high-sensitivity quantification, select luciferases.
(3) For non-destructive detection, choose secreted reporter genes (such as SEAP, secreted luciferase).
(4) For multi-parameter analysis, dual reporter systems can be selected. Our technical team can provide optimized recommendations based on your experimental design and detection equipment.
Q: What are the selection criteria and validation methods for signal pathway response elements?
A: Response element selection is based on pathway specificity and signal-to-noise ratio: We screen optimal response sequences through bioinformatics analysis and experimental validation (such as typical NF-κB response elements containing 5 GGGRNNYYCC consensus sequences), and verify their specificity through positive/negative stimulation (such as TNF-α stimulation and IκB inhibitor control for NF-κB systems). Our library includes over 50 pre-validated response elements, each tested for stimulus dose-dependency (such as CAGA12-GFP system sensitivity to TGF-β reaching 0.02ng/mL). For special requirements, we also provide custom response element design and validation services.
Q: What factors need to be considered when applying reporter systems in vivo?
A: (1) Reporter gene selection: Prioritize near-infrared fluorescent proteins or luciferases for deep tissues to avoid tissue autofluorescence interference.
(2) Viral titer: Usually requires high-titer preparations (≥1×109 TU/mL), we provide ultra-high titer purification services.
(3) Administration method: Local injection or systemic administration requires appropriate pseudotype envelopes.
(4) Expression persistence: Stable integrating vectors should be considered for long-term experiments.
(5) Detection methods: Compatible with IVIS in vivo imaging systems or tissue section analysis. We can provide complete in vivo experimental design recommendations.
