Luciferase is commonly used as a reporter to assess the transcriptional activity of a genetic construct with luciferase gene under the promoter of interest. NF-kB Luciferase Stable RAW264.7 Cell Line has been stably transfected with a 3kB-Luc SV40 reporter, which contains 3 NF-kB sites from the interferon gene upstream of the luciferase coding region. This cell line is useful in investigation of NF-kB activation in monocyte-macrophage models. This cell line should be maintained in 100 µg/ml G418.
