#Transfect cells with reporter and pRL vector (50:1) and plate in a 96 well white plate | |||
#Treat cells as required | |||
#Prepare 1X PLB using 5X stock and water | |||
#Wash wells once with 100 ul D-PBS -/- | |||
#Add 20 uL PLB to well and incubate on a shaker for 15 min at RT | |||
#Prepare Stop and Glo Reagent (dilute from 50X in Stop and Glo Buffer). Need 100 uL per assay. Reagent and LARII should be at room temperature | |||
#Set plate reader to luminesence | |||
#Ensure correct measurement head is installed (one light tube) and it is set to do a top read | |||
#Set temperature control to off | |||
#Set plate layout under protocol button for both Luciferase Assay I and Luciferase Assay II | |||
#Add 100 uL of LARII to lysates and read luminescence (2s delay, 10s measurement using Luciferase Assay I | |||
#Add 100 uL of Stop and Glo Reagent and read luminescence again using Luciferase Assay II | |||
#Calculate relative luciferase activity by dividing results from Assay I by Assay II | |||
