pNL1.1.TK[Nluc/TK] Vector

The promoter-driven NanoLuc (Nluc) control vectors can be used to co-transfect with experimental firefly luciferase vectors when using the Nano-Glo Dual-Luciferase Reporter (NanoDLR) Assay System. NanoLuc luciferase is a small (19.1kDa), stable reporter enzyme that can be up to 100-fold more sensitive than the flash-type Renilla signal in the DLR Assay and more than 3,000-fold more sensitive than the Renilla signal in the Dual-Glo Assay. The increased brightness of the NanoLuc Luciferase means you use less control DNA, minimizing assay artifacts and providing a stable control signal for normalization of the experimental Fluc reporter. The vectors are engineered with minimal consensus transcription factor-binding sites to reduce anomalous expression.
