The Notch Pathway Reporter kit is designed for monitoring the activity of Notch signaling pathway in the cultured cells. The kit contains the transfection-ready expression vector for Notch1 with the entire extracellular domain deleted (Notch1DE). Inside the cells, the Notch1DE can be cleaved by -secretase and active Notch1 NICD is released to nucleus. The kit also contains a CSL (CBF1/RBP-J) luciferase reporter vector, which is a Notch pathway-responsive reporter. This reporter contains a firefly luciferase gene under the control of multimerized CSL responsive element upstream of a minimal promoter. The CSL (CBF1/RBP-J) reporter is premixed with constitutively expressing Renilla (sea pansy) luciferase vector, which serves as an internal positive control for transfection efficiency._x000D_The kit also includes a non-inducible firefly luciferase vector premixed with constitutivelyexpressing Renilla luciferase vector as a negative control. The non-inducible luciferase vector contains a firefly luciferase gene under the control of a minimal promoter, but without any additional response elements. The negative control is critical for determining pathway specific effects and background luciferase activity.

The Notch CSL Reporter - HEK293 cell line contains the firefly luciferase gene under the control of Notch-response elements (CSL responsive elements) alone with expression construct for Notch1 E (NOTCH1 that has a deletion of the entire extracellular domain) stably integrated into HEK293 cells. Inside the cells, the Notch1 E can be cleaved by γ-secretase. The active Notch1 NICD is released to nucleus and induces the constitutive expression of luciferase reporter. The cell line is validated for the inhibition of the expression of luciferase reporter using a known inhibitor of the Notch signaling pathway.
