Click HereBiosensors can be used to detect the presence/absence of a particular protein as well as the subcellular location of that protein within the live state of a cell. Fluorescent tags are often desired as a means to visualize the protein of interest within a cell by either fluorescent microscopy or time-lapse video capture. Visualizing live cells without disruption allows researchers to observe cellular conditions in real time.Lentiviral vector systems are a popular research tool used to introduce gene products into cells. Lentiviral transfection has advantages over non-viral methods such as chemical-based transfection including higher-efficiency transfection of dividing and non-dividing cells, long-term stable expression of the transgene, and low immunogenicity. EMD Millipore is introducing LentiBrite Lentiviral Biosensors, a new suite of pre-packaged lentiviral particles encoding important and foundational proteins of autophagy, apoptosis, and cell structure for visualization under different cell/disease states in live cell and in vitro analysis.• Pre-packaged, fluorescently-tagged with GFP & RFP • Higher efficiency transfection as compared to traditional chemical-based and other non-viral-based transfection methods • Ability to transfect dividing, non-dividing, and difficult-to-transfect cell types, such as primary cells or stem cells • Non-disruptive towards cellular function EMD Millipore’s LentiBrite Calreticulin-RFP-KDEL lentiviral particles provide bright fluorescence and precise localization to enable live cell analysis of autophagy in difficult-to-transfect cell types., Calreticulin is a resident protein of the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum that plays important roles in protein folding and calcium homeostasis. In addition, cells induced to undergo apoptosis with selected agents allow passage of calreticulin from the ER to the cell surface, and the cell surface-exposed calreticulin promotes engulfment by phagocytic cells, a process termed immunogenic cell death. Expression of genetic fusions between calreticulin and fluorescent proteins has permitted analysis of the dynamics of chaperone-substrate interactions and immunogenic cell death. EMD Millipore's LentiBrite Calreticulin-RFP-KDEL lentiviral particles provide bright fluorescence and precise localization to enable live cell analysis of calreticulin dynamics in difficult-to-transfect cell types.
