Notch Pathway Reporter kit is designed for monitoring the activity of the Notch signaling pathway in cultured cells. The kit contains a transfection-ready expression vector for Human NOTCH1 that has a deletion of the entire extracellular domain, leaving the transmembrane and intracellular domains intact (Notch1DE). Inside the cells, the NOTCH1 DE is cleaved by γ-secretase and active NOTCH1 NICD is released into the nucleus. The kit also contains CSL (CBF1/RBP-Jk) luciferase reporter vector, which is a Notch pathway-responsive reporter. This reporter contains the firefly luciferase gene under the control of multimerized CSL responsive elements upstream of a minimal promoter. The CSL (CBF1/RBP-Jk) 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 constitutively-expressing 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._x000D_This kit contains the expression vector for Human Notch1DE. We also offer the Mouse Notch1DE expression vector (BPS Bioscience #60509), as well as a Mouse Notch1 NICD expression vector, which is constitutively active without processing by γ-secretase (BPS Bioscience #79504)._x000D_

The NF-κB Luciferase Reporter Lentivirus are replication incompetent, HIV-based, VSV-G pseudotyped lentiviral particles that are ready to be transduced into almost all types of mammalian cells, including primary and non-dividing cells. The particles contain a firefly luciferase gene driven by four copies of the NF-κB response element located upstream of the minimal TATA promoter. After transduction, activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway in the target cells can be monitored by measuring the luciferase activity.

The main role of the cAMP response element, or CRE, is mediating the effects of Protein Kinase A (PKA) by way of transcription. Upon phosphorylation, CREB forms a functionally active dimer that binds the CRE element within the promoters of target genes and activates transcription. CRE is at the focus of many extracellular and intracellular signaling pathways, including cAMP, calcium, GPCR (G-protein coupled receptors) and neurotrophins. The cAMP/PKA signaling pathway is critical to numerous life processes in living organisms.The CRE/CREB Luciferase Reporter Lentivirus are replication incompetent, HIV-based, VSV-G pseudotyped lentiviral particles that are ready to be transduced into almost all types of mammalian cells, including primary and non-dividing cells. The particles contain a firefly luciferase gene driven by multimerized cAMP response element (CRE) located upstream of the minimal TATA promoter. After transduction, activation of the cAMP/PKA signaling pathway in the target cells can be monitored by measuring the luciferase activity.
