    1 Description
    Genetic reporter systems are widely used to study eukaryotic gene expression and cellular physiology Applications
    include the study of receptor activity transcription factors intracellular signaling mRNA processing and protein
    folding Dual reporters are commonly used to improve experimental accuracy The term dual reporter refers to the
    simultaneous expression and measurement of two individual reporter enzymes within a single system Typically the
    experimental reporter is correlated with the effect of specific experimental conditions while the activity of the
    cotransfected control reporter provides an internal control that serves as the baseline response Normalizing the
    activity of the experimental reporter to the activity of the internal control minimizes experimental variability caused by
    differences in cell viability or transfection efficiency Other sources of variability such as differences in pipetting
    volumes cell lysis efficiency and assay efficiency can be effectively eliminated Thus dualreporter assays often allow
    more reliable interpretation of the experimental data by reducing extraneous influences
    The DualLuciferase® Reporter (DLR™) Assay System(a–c) provides an efficient means of performing dualreporter
    assays In the DLR™ Assay the activities of firefly (Photinus pyralis) and Renilla (Renilla reniformis also known as
    sea pansy) luciferases are measured sequentially from a single sample The firefly luciferase reporter is measured first
    by adding Luciferase Assay Reagent II (LAR II) to generate a stabilized luminescent signal After quantifying the firefly
    luminescence this reaction is quenched and the Renilla luciferase reaction is simultaneously initiated by adding
    Stop & Glo® Reagent to the same tube The Stop & Glo® Reagent also produces a stabilized signal from the Renilla
    luciferase which decays slowly over the course of the measurement In the DLR™ Assay System both reporters yield
    linear assays with subattomole sensitivities and no endogenous activity of either reporter in the experimental host cells
    Furthermore the integrated format of the DLR™ Assay provides rapid quantitation of both reporters either in
    transfected cells or in cellfree transcriptiontranslation reactions
    Promega offers the pGL4 series of firefly and Renilla luciferase vectors designed for use with the DLR™ Assay Systems
    These vectors may be used to cotransfect mammalian cells with experimental and control reporter genes

    1A DualLuciferase® Reporter Assay Chemistry
    Firefly and Renilla luciferases because of their distinct evolutionary origins have dissimilar enzyme structures and
    substrate requirements These differences make it possible to selectively discriminate between their respective
    bioluminescent reactions Thus using the DLR™ Assay System the luminescence from the firefly luciferase reaction
    may be quenched while simultaneously activating the luminescent reaction of Renilla luciferase
    Firefly luciferase is a 61kDa monomeric protein that does not require posttranslational processing for enzymatic activity
    (12) Thus it functions as a genetic reporter immediately upon translation Photon emission is achieved through oxidation of
    beetle luciferin in a reaction that requires ATP Mg2+ and O2 (Figure 1) Under conventional reaction conditions the oxidation
    occurs through a luciferylAMP intermediate that turns over very slowly As a result this assay chemistry generates a flash
    of light that rapidly decays after the substrate and enzyme are mixed
    Many of our Luciferase Assay Reagents for quantitating firefly luciferase incorporate coenzyme A (CoA) to provide
    more favorable overall reaction kinetics (3) In the presence of CoA the luciferase assay yields stabilized luminescence
    signals with significantly greater intensities (Figure 2) than those obtained from the conventional assay chemistry The
    firefly luciferase assay is extremely sensitive and extends over a linear range covering at least seven orders of magnitude
    in enzyme concentration (Figure 3)
    Renilla luciferase a 36kDa monomeric protein is composed of 3 carbohydrate when purified from its natural source
    Renilla reniformis (4) However like firefly luciferase posttranslational modification is not required for its activity
    and the enzyme may function as a genetic reporter immediately following translation The luminescent reaction
    catalyzed by Renilla luciferase utilizes O2 and coelenterateluciferin (coelenterazine Figure 1)

    1A DualLuciferase® Reporter Assay Chemistry (continued)
    In the DLR™ Assay chemistry the kinetics of the Renilla luciferase reaction provide a stabilized luminescent signal that
    decays slowly over the course of the measurement (Figure 2) Similar to firefly luciferase the luminescent reaction
    catalyzed by Renilla luciferase also provides extreme sensitivity and a linear range generally extending six orders of
    magnitude (Figure 3) Note that the effective range of the luminescent reactions may vary depending on the type of
    luminometer (eg 96well versus singlesample) used
    An inherent property of coelenterazine is that it emits lowlevel autoluminescence in aqueous solutions Originally this
    drawback prevented sensitive determinations at the lower end of enzyme concentration Additionally some types of
    nonionic detergents commonly used to prepare cell lysates (eg Triton® X100) greatly intensify coelenterazine
    autoluminescence The DLR™ Assay Systems include proprietary chemistry that reduces autoluminescence to a level
    that is not measurable for all but the most sensitive luminometers Passive Lysis Buffer is formulated to minimize the
    effect of lysate composition on coelenterazine autoluminescence In addition the DLR™ Assay Systems include two
    reconstituted assay reagents Luciferase Assay Reagent II and Stop & Glo® Reagent that combine to suppress
    coelenterazine autoluminescence

    Figure 3 Comparison of the linear ranges of firefly and Renilla luciferases The DLR™ Assay was performed
    with a mixture of purified firefly and Renilla luciferases prepared in PLB containing 1mgml BSA A Promega
    GloMax® 2020 Luminometer was used to measure luminescence As shown in this graph with the DLR™ Assay
    System the linear range of the firefly luciferase assay is eight orders of magnitude providing detection sensitivity
    of ≤01 femtogram (approximately 10–21 mole) of firefly luciferase reporter enzyme The Renilla luciferase assay has
    a linear range covering eight orders of magnitude and allows for the detection of approximately 01 femtogram
    (approximately 10–21 mole) of Renilla luciferase
    1B Format of the DualLuciferase® Reporter Assay
    Quantitation of luminescent signal from each of the luciferase reporter enzymes may be performed immediately
    following lysate preparation without the need for dividing samples or performing additional treatments The firefly
    luciferase reporter assay is initiated by adding an aliquot of lysate to Luciferase Assay Reagent II Quenching of firefly
    luciferase luminescence and concomitant activation of Renilla luciferase are accomplished by adding Stop & Glo®
    Reagent to the sample tube immediately after quantitation of the firefly luciferase reaction The luminescent signal
    from the firefly reaction is quenched by at least a factor of 105 (to ≤0001 residual light output) within 1 second
    following the addition of Stop & Glo® Reagent (Figure 4) Complete activation of Renilla luciferase is also achieved
    within this 1second period When using a manual luminometer the time required to quantitate both luciferase
    reporter activities will be approximately 30 seconds The procedure can be summarized as follows
    Elapsed Time
    Step 1 Manually add prepared lysate to Luciferase Assay
    Reagent II predispensed into luminometer tubes mix
    ~3 seconds
    Step 2 Quantify firefly luciferase activity 12 seconds
    Step 3 Add Stop & Glo® Reagent mix 3 seconds

    Total elapsed time for the DLR™ Assay 30 seconds

    The DLR™ Assay allows sequential measurement of firefly luciferase (Reporter #1) followed by Renilla luciferase
    activity (Reporter #2) on addition of Stop & Glo® Reagent to the reaction Both reporter activities were quantitated
    within the same sample of lysate prepared from CHO cells cotransfected with pGL3 Control Vector (Cat# E1741)
    and pRLSV40 Vector (Cat# E2231) To demonstrate the efficient quenching of Reporter #1 by Stop & Glo® Reagent
    an equal volume of Stop & Glo® Buffer (which does not contain the substrate for Renilla luciferase) was added Firefly
    luciferase luminescence was quenched by greater than 5 orders of magnitude
    1C Passive Lysis Buffer
    Passive Lysis Buffer (PLB) is specifically formulated to promote rapid lysis of cultured mammalian cells without the
    need to scrape adherent cells or perform additional freezethaw cycles (active lysis) Furthermore PLB prevents sample
    foaming making it ideally suited for highthroughput applications in which arrays of treated cells are cultured in
    multiwell plates processed into lysates and assayed using automated systems Although PLB is formulated for passive
    lysis applications its robust lytic performance is of equal benefit when harvesting adherent cells cultured in standard
    dishes using active lysis Regardless of the preferred lysis method the release of firefly and Renilla luciferase reporter
    enzymes into the cell lysate is both quantitative and reliable for cultured mammalian cells (Figure 5)

    wwwpromegacom TM040 · Revised 615
    In addition to its lytic properties PLB is designed to provide optimum performance and stability of the firefly and
    Renilla luciferase reporter enzymes An important feature of PLB is that unlike other cell lysis reagents it elicits only
    minimal coelenterazine autoluminescence Hence PLB is the lytic reagent of choice when processing cells for
    quantitation of firefly and Renilla luciferase activities using the DLR™ Assay System Other lysis buffers (eg Glo
    Lysis Buffer Cell Culture Lysis Reagent and Reporter Lysis Buffer) either increase background luminescence
    substantially or are inadequate for passive lysis If desired the protein content of cell lysates prepared with PLB may
    be readily quantitated using a variety of common chemical assay methods Determination of protein content must be
    performed using adequate controls Diluting lysates with either water or a buffer that is free of detergents or reducing
    agents is recommended in order to reduce the effects that Passive Lysis Buffer may have on background absorbance A
    standard curve with BSA must be generated in parallel under the same buffer conditions

    3 The pGL4 Luciferase Reporter Vectors
    3A Description of pGL4 Vectors
    The pGL4 Luciferase Reporter Vectors are the next generation of reporter gene vectors optimized for expression in
    mammalian cells Numerous configurations of pGL4 Vectors are available including those with the synthetic firefly
    luc2 (Photinus pyralis) and Renilla hRluc (Renilla reniformis 5) luciferase genes which have been codon optimized
    for more efficient expression in mammalian cells Furthermore both the reporter genes and the vector backbone
    including the ampicillin (Ampr) gene and mammalian selectable marker genes for hygromycin (Hygr) neomycin (Neor)
    and puromycin (Puror) have been engineered to reduce the number of consensus transcription factor binding sites
    reducing background and the risk of anomalous transcription
    The pGL4 Vector backbone is provided with either the luc2 or hRluc genes and in certain vectors one or both of two
    Rapid Response™ reporter genes The protein levels maintained by these Rapid Response™ luciferase genes respond
    more quickly and with greater magnitude to changes in transcriptional activity than their more stable counterparts
    For more information on advantages of and improvements made to the pGL4 series of vectors please visit
    wwwpromegacompgl4 or see the pGL4 Luciferase Reporters Technical Manual #TM259
    3B Important Considerations for CoTransfection Experiments
    Firefly and Renilla luciferase vectors may be used together to cotransfect mammalian cells Either firefly or Renilla
    luciferase may be used as the control or the experimental reporter gene depending on the experiment and the genetic
    contructs available However it is important to realize that trans effects between promoters on cotransfected plasmids
    can potentially affect reporter gene expression (6) Primarily this is of concern when either the control or experimental
    reporter vector or both contain very strong promoterenhancer elements The occurrence and magnitude of such
    effects will depend on the combination and activities of the genetic regulatory elements present on the cotransfected
    vectors the relative ratio of experimental vector to control vector introduced into the cells and the cell type
    transfected
    To help ensure independent genetic expression between experimental and control reporter genes we encourage users
    to perform preliminary cotransfection experiments to optimize both the amount of vector DNA and the ratio of
    coreporter vectors added to the transfection mix The extreme sensitivity of both firefly and Renilla luciferase assays
    and the very large linear range of luminometers (typically 5–6 orders of magnitude) allows accurate measurement of
    even vastly different experimental and control luminescence values Therefore it is possible to add relatively small
    quantities of a control reporter vector to provide lowlevel constitutive expression of that luciferase control activity
    Ratios of 101 to 501 (or greater) for experimental vectorcoreporter vector combinations are feasible and may aid
    greatly in suppressing the occurrence of trans effects between promoter elements

    4 Instrument Considerations
    4A SingleSample Luminometers
    Renilla and firefly luciferases both exhibit stabilized reaction kinetics therefore singlesample luminometers designed
    for lowthroughput applications do not require reagent injectors to perform DLR™ Assays Luminometers should be
    configured to measure light emission over a defined period as opposed to measuring flash intensity or peak height
    For the standard DLR™ Assay we recommend programming luminometers to provide a 2second preread delay
    followed by a 10second measurement period However depending on the type of instrument and the number of
    samples being processed some users may prefer to shorten the period of premeasurement delay andor the period of
    luminescence measurement For convenience it is preferable to equip the luminometer with a computer or an online
    printer for direct capture of data output thus eliminating the need to pause between reporter assays to manually
    record the measured values Some singletube luminometers equipped with one or two reagent injectors may be
    difficult or impossible to reprogram to accommodate the readinjectread format of the DLR™ Assay In such
    instances we recommend disabling the injector system and manually adding the reagents
    The GloMax® 2020 Luminometers equipped with single or dual autoinjector systems (Cat# E5321 or E5331) are
    ideally suited for low to mediumthroughput processing of DLR™ Assays The GloMax® 2020 Luminometer is
    preprogrammed to perform injections and to complete sequential readings of both firefly and Renilla luciferase
    reporter activities with a single Start command Furthermore the instrument is programmed to provide individual
    and normalized luciferase values as well as statistical analyses of values measured within replicate groups
    4B MultiSample and PlateReading Luminometers
    The most convenient method of performing large numbers of DLR™ Assays is to use a luminometer capable of
    processing multiple sample tubes or by configuring assays in a 96well array and using a platereading luminometer
    such as the GloMax® 96 Luminometer (Cat# E6511 E6521) For highthroughput applications we recommend first
    dispensing the desired volume of each sample into the individual assay tubes or wells of the microplate or preparing
    the lysates directly in each well Dualreporter assays are then performed as follows i) inject Luciferase Assay Reagent
    II ii) measure firefly luciferase activity iii) inject Stop & Glo® Reagent and iv) measure Renilla luciferase activity
    Therefore we recommend multisample and platereading luminometers be equipped with two reagent injectors to
    perform the DLR™ Assay Users of highthroughput instruments may be able to perform DLR™ Assays using elapsed
    premeasurement and measurement times that are significantly shorter than those prescribed in the standard assay
    protocol

    wwwpromegacom TM040 · Revised 615
    Note Verify that your luminometer provides a diagnostic warning when the luminescence of a given sample exceeds the
    linear range of the photomultiplier tube It is common for the luminescence intensity of luciferasemediated reactions to
    exceed the linear range of a luminometer If the luminometer does not provide a warning it is important to establish the
    luminometer’s linear range of detection prior to performing luciferase reporter assays Purified luciferase (eg Quanti
    Lum® Recombinant Luciferase Cat# E1701) or luciferase expressed in cell lysates may be used to determine the working
    range of a particular luminometer Perform serial dilutions of the luciferase sample in 1X PLB (refer to Section 5A)
    containing 1mgml gelatin The addition of exogenous protein is necessary to ensure stability of the luciferase enzyme at
    extremely dilute concentrations
    4C Scintillation Counters
    In general we do not recommend the use of scintillation counters for quantitating firefly and Renilla luciferase
    activities using the integrated DLR™ Assay chemistry Scintillation counters are not equipped with autoinjection
    devices therefore samples assayed using the DualLuciferase® format must be processed manually Since the
    luminescent signal generated by both luciferases decays slowly over the course of the reaction period (Figure 2) it is
    necessary to operate the scintillation counter in manual mode and to initiate each reaction just prior to measurement
    This is especially important for the Renilla luciferase reaction which decays more rapidly than the firefly luciferase
    reaction As a result of this decay it is also important to control the elapsed time between initiating the reaction and
    taking a measurement
    If a scintillation counter is used to measure firefly and Renilla luciferase activities configure the instrument so that
    all channels are open and the coincidence circuit is turned off This is usually achieved through an option of the
    programming menu or by a switch within the instrument If the circuit cannot be turned off a linear relationship
    between luciferase concentration and cpm can still be produced by calculating the square root of measured counts per
    minute (cpm) minus background cpm (ie [sample – background]12) See Section 6E for a discussion on determining
    assay background measurements

    5 Preparation of Cell Lysates Using Passive Lysis Buffer
    Two procedures are described for the preparation of cell lysates using PLB The first is recommended for the passive
    lysis of cells in multiwell plates The second is intended for those who are harvesting cells grown in culture dishes and
    prefer to expedite lysate preparation by scraping the adherent cells In both procedures the firefly and Renilla
    luciferases contained in the cell lysates prepared with PLB are stable for at least 6 hours at room temperature (22°C)
    and up to 16 hours on ice Freezing of the prepared lysates at –20°C is suitable for shortterm storage (up to 1 month)
    however we recommend longterm storage at –70°C Subjecting cell lysates to more than 2–3 freezethaw cycles may
    result in gradual loss of luciferase reporter enzyme activities
    Materials to Be Supplied by the User
    (Solution composition is provided in Section 8A)
    • phosphate buffered saline (PBS)
    5A Passive Lysis Buffer Preparation
    PLB is supplied as a 5X concentrate Prepare a sufficient quantity of the 1X working concentration by adding 1 volume
    of 5X Passive Lysis Buffer to 4 volumes of distilled water and mixing well The diluted (1X) PLB may be stored at 4°C
    for up to one month however we recommend preparing the volume of PLB required just before use The 5X PLB
    should be stored at –20°C
    Use only Passive Lysis Buffer for the preparation of cell lysates for use with the DLR™ System PLB is specially
    formulated to minimize background autoluminescence
    5B Passive Lysis of Cells Cultured in Multiwell Plates
    1 Determine transfection parameters (ie plated cell density and subsequent incubation time) such that cells are
    no more than 95 confluent at the desired time of lysate preparation Remove the growth medium from the
    cultured cells and gently apply a sufficient volume of phosphate buffered saline (PBS) to wash the surface of the
    culture vessel Swirl the vessel briefly to remove detached cells and residual growth medium Completely remove
    the rinse solution before applying PLB reagent
    2 Dispense into each culture well the minimum volume of 1X PLB required to completely cover the cell monolayer
    The recommended volumes of PLB to add per well are as follows
    Multiwell Plate 1X PLB
    6well culture plate 500µl
    12well culture plate 250µl
    24well culture plate 100µl
    48well culture plate 65µl

    3 Place the culture plates on a rocking platform or orbital shaker with gentle rockingshaking to ensure complete and
    even coverage of the cell monolayer with 1X PLB Rock the culture plates at room temperature for 15 minutes
    4 Transfer the lysate to a tube or vial for further handling and storage Alternatively reporter assays may be
    performed directly in the wells of the culture plate In general it is unnecessary to clear lysates of residual cell
    debris prior to performing the DLR™ Assay However if subsequent protein determinations are to be made
    we recommend clearing the lysate samples for 30 seconds by centrifugation at top speed in a refrigerated
    microcentrifuge Transfer cleared lysates to a new tube prior to reporter enzyme analyses
    Notes
    1 Cultures that are overgrown are often more resistant to complete lysis and typically require an increased volume
    of PLB andor an extended treatment period to ensure complete passive lysis Firefly and Renilla luciferases are
    stable in cell lysates prepared with PLB (7) therefore extending the period of passive lysis treatment will not
    compromise reporter activities
    2 Microscopic inspection of different cell types treated for passive lysis may reveal seemingly different lysis results
    Treatment of many types of cultured cells with PLB produces complete dissolution of their structure within a
    15minute period However PLB treatment of some cell types may result in discernible cell silhouettes on the
    surface of the culture well or large accumulations of floating debris Despite the appearance of such cell remnants
    we typically find complete solubilization of both luciferase reporter enzymes within a 15minute treatment period
    (Figure 5) However some types of cultured cells may exhibit greater inherent resistance to lysis and optimizing
    the treatment conditions may be required
    5C Active Lysis of Cells by Scraping
    1 Remove growth medium from the cultured cells and gently apply a sufficient volume of PBS to rinse the bottom
    of the culture vessel Swirl the vessel briefly to remove detached cells and residual growth medium Take care to
    completely remove the rinse solution before applying the 1X PLB
    2 Homogeneous lysates may be rapidly prepared by manually scraping the cells from culture dishes in the presence
    of 1X PLB Recommended volumes of PLB to be added per culture dish are listed below
    Cell Culture Plate 1X PLB
    100 × 20mm culture dish 100ml
    60 × 15mm culture dish 400µl

    5C Active Lysis of Cells by Scraping (continued)
    3 Cells may be harvested immediately following the addition of PLB by scraping vigorously with a disposable
    plastic cell lifter or a rubber policeman Tilt the plate and scrape the lysate down to the lower edge Pipet the
    accumulated lysate several times to obtain a homogeneous suspension If the scraper is used to prepare more
    than one sample thoroughly clean the scraper between uses
    4 Transfer the lysate into a tube or vial for further handling and storage Subject the cell lysate to 1 or 2 freezethaw
    cycles to accomplish complete lysis of cells Generally it is unnecessary to clear lysates of residual cell debris prior
    to performing the DLR™ Assay However if subsequent protein determinations are to be made we recommend
    clearing the lysate samples for 30 seconds by centrifugation in a refrigerated microcentrifuge Transfer the cleared
    lysates to a fresh tube prior to reporter enzyme analyses

    6A Preparation of Luciferase Assay Reagent II
    Prepare Luciferase Assay Reagent II (LAR II) by resuspending the provided lyophilized Luciferase Assay Substrate in
    10ml of the supplied Luciferase Assay Buffer II Once the substrates and buffer have been mixed write LAR II on the
    existing vial label for easy identification LAR II is stable for one month at –20°C or for one year when stored at –70°C
    Do not substitute Luciferase Assay Reagent (Cat# E1483) included in the Luciferase Assay Systems
    (Cat# E1500 E1501 E4030 E4530 E4550) for LAR II The Luciferase Assay Reagent supplied with these systems is
    not designed for use with the DLR™ Assay System
    Notes
    1 Repeated freezethawing of this reagent may decrease assay performance We recommend that LAR II be
    dispensed into aliquots for each experimental use (eg a 1ml aliquot will provide 10 assays)
    2 The components of LAR II are heatlabile Frozen aliquots of this reagent should be thawed in a water bath at
    room temperature
    3 The process of thawing generates both density and composition gradients within LAR II Mix the thawed reagent
    prior to use by inverting the vial several times or by gentle vortexing

    6B Preparation of Stop & Glo® Reagent
    Prepare an adequate volume to perform the desired number of DLR™ Assays (100µl reagent per assay) Stop & Glo®
    Substrate is supplied at a 50X concentration Add 1 volume of 50X Stop & Glo® Substrate to 50 volumes of Stop & Glo®
    Buffer in a glass or siliconized polypropylene tube
    Stop & Glo® Reagent (Substrate + Buffer) is best when prepared just before use If stored at 22°C for 48 hours the reagent’s
    activity decreases by 8 If necessary Stop & Glo® Reagent may be stored at –20°C for 15 days with no decrease in activity
    It may be thawed at room temperature up to 6 times with ≤15 decrease in activity
    Note Reagents that have been prepared and stored frozen should be thawed in a room temperature water bath
    Always mix the reagent prior to use because thawing generates density and composition gradients
    Example 1 (10 assays)
    Add 20µl of 50X Stop & Glo® Substrate to 1ml of Stop & Glo® Buffer contained in either a glass vial or siliconized
    polypropylene tube This will prepare sufficient Stop & Glo® Reagent for 10 assays
    Example 2 (100 assays)
    Transfer 10ml Stop & Glo® Buffer into a glass vial or siliconized polypropylene tube Add 200µl of 50X Stop & Glo®
    Substrate to the 10ml Stop & Glo® Buffer This will prepare sufficient Stop & Glo® Reagent for 100 DLR™ Assays
    6C Standard Protocol
    Note The LAR II Stop & Glo® Reagent and samples should be at ambient temperature prior to performing the
    DualLuciferase® Assay Prior to beginning this protocol verify that the LAR II and the Stop & Glo® Reagent have
    been warmed to room temperature
    The assays for firefly luciferase activity and Renilla luciferase activity are performed sequentially using one reaction
    tube The following protocol is designed for use with a manual luminometer or a luminometer fitted with one reagent
    injector (Figure 6)
    Note In some instances it may be desirable to measure only Renilla luciferase reporter activity in the lysates of pGL4
    Vectortransfected cells For this application we recommend the Renilla Luciferase Assay System (Cat# E2810 E2820)
    If the DLR™ Assay System is used to measure only Renilla luciferase activity it is still necessary to combine 100µl of
    both LAR II and Stop & Glo® Reagent with 20µl cell lysate to achieve optimal Renilla luciferase assay conditions

    6C Standard Protocol (continued)
    1 Predispense 100µl of LAR II into the appropriate number of luminometer tubes to complete the desired number
    of DLR™ Assays
    2 Program the luminometer to perform a 2second premeasurement delay followed by a 10second measurement
    period for each reporter assay
    3 Carefully transfer up to 20µl of cell lysate into the luminometer tube containing LAR II mix by pipetting 2 or
    3 times Do not vortex Place the tube in the luminometer and initiate reading
    Note We do not recommend vortexing the solution at Step 3 Vortexing may coat the sides of the tube with a
    microfilm of luminescent solution which can escape mixing with the subsequently added volume of Stop & Glo®
    Reagent This is of particular concern if Stop & Glo® Reagent is delivered into the tube by automatic injection
    4 If the luminometer is not connected to a printer or computer record the firefly luciferase activity measurement
    5 If available use a reagent injector to dispense 100µl of Stop & Glo® Reagent If using a manual luminometer
    remove the sample tube from the luminometer add 100µl of Stop & Glo® Reagent and vortex briefly to mix
    Replace the sample in the luminometer and initiate reading
    Note It is possible to prime autoinjector systems with little or no loss of DLR™ Assay reagents Before
    priming injectors with LAR II or Stop & Glo® assay reagents we recommend first purging all storage liquid
    (ie deionized water or ethanol wash solution see Section 6D) from the injector system Priming assay reagent
    through an empty injector system prevents dilution and contamination of the primed reagent Thus the volume
    of primed reagent may be recovered and returned to the reservoir of bulk reagent
    6 If the luminometer is not connected to a printer or computer record the Renilla luciferase activity measurement
    7 Discard the reaction tube and proceed to the next DLR™ Assay

    6D Important Considerations for Cleaning Reagent Injectors
    Proper cleaning of an injector system exposed to Stop & Glo® Reagent is essential if the device is to be later used to
    perform firefly luciferase assays by autoinjecting LAR II One of the luciferasequenching components in Stop & Glo®
    Reagent has a moderate affinity for plastic materials This compound exhibits a reversible association with the interior
    surfaces of plastic tubing and pump bodies commonly used in the construction of autoinjector systems Injector
    plumbing that has not been properly cleaned following contact with Stop & Glo® Reagent will leach trace quantities of
    quench reagent into solutions that are subsequently passed through the injector system In such cases even very small
    quantities of contaminating quench reagent cause significant inhibition of firefly luciferase reporter activity especially
    if injectors are used for dispensing more than one type of reagent It is recommended that a particular injector be
    dedicated to each of the two reagents and that on completion of a run the wash protocol below be followed to ensure
    clean lines Proper cleaning must be performed even when an injector is dedicated for dispensing a single reagent
    General Injector Wash Protocol
    1 Purge Stop & Glo® Reagent from the injector lines by repeated primingwashing with a volume of deionized
    water equivalent to 3 pump void volumes
    2 Prepare 70 ethanol as wash reagent Prime the system with at least 5ml of 70 ethanol to completely replace
    the void volume and rinse the injector plumbing It is preferable to allow the injector to soak in this wash
    solution for 30 minutes prior to rinsing with deionized water
    Note The design and materials used in the construction of injector systems varies greatly and some pumps may
    require longer than a 30minute soak in the wash reagent to attain complete surface cleaning Luminometers
    equipped with Teflon® tubing are not a concern but other tubing such as Tygon® will require an extended soak
    time of 12–16 hours (overnight) to ensure complete removal of the Stop & Glo® Reagent from the injector
    system
    3 Rinse with a volume of deionized water equivalent to at least 3 pump void volumes to thoroughly remove all
    traces of ethanol
    Wash Protocol for the Injectors in the GloMax® 2020 Luminometer
    Trace contamination of Stop & Glo® Reagent may be removed from the GloMax® 2020 Luminometer injector system
    as follows
    1 Purge Stop & Glo® Reagent from the injector by performing 1 priming cycle with deionized water
    2 Perform a flush cycle with 70 ethanol and allow tubing to soak in this wash solution for 30 minutes
    3 Perform a flush cycle with deionized water to remove all traces of ethanol

    6E Determination of Assay Backgrounds
    The expression of a luciferase reporter is quantitated as the luminescence produced above background levels In most
    cases because the background is exceptionally low luciferase activity is directly proportional to total luminescence
    However when measuring very small amounts of luciferase it is important to subtract the background signal from the
    measurement of total luminescence The following sections describe how to determine background signals for firefly
    and Renilla luciferases respectively
    Firefly Luciferase
    With rare exceptions all background luminescence in measurements of firefly luciferase arises from the
    instrumentation or the sample tubes Background in sample tubes may result from static electricity or from
    phosphorescence In particular polystyrene tubes are capable of accumulating significant static buildup that may
    contribute to persistent elevated levels of background luminescence Handling and storage of tubes should be done
    carefully to minimize static buildup and samples should be handled away from sunlight or very bright lights before
    making luminescence measurements
    The electronic design of a given luminometer can greatly affect its measurable level of background signal many
    luminometers do not read 0 in the absence of a luminescent sample To determine the background signal contributed
    by the instrument and sample tube
    1 Use Passive Lysis Buffer to prepare a lysate of nontransfected control (NTC) cells
    2 Add 100µl of LAR II to 20µl of NTC lysate
    3 Measure apparent luminescence activity
    The lysates of mammalian cells do not express endogenous luminescence activity the low apparent luminescence in
    NTC lysates is the background due to the instrument and possibly the plate or tube holding the luciferase reaction
    Be aware that the relative noise in background signals is often quite high Therefore 5–10 readings should be
    performed and the mean reading used to obtain a statistically significant value for instrument and plate or tube
    background An additional source of high luminescence activity is overflow from an adjacent well when measuring
    luminescence in multiwell plates This can be eliminated by using highquality opaque plates that prevent cross talk
    Additionally the luminometer mechanics and its ability to read luminescence emitted from individual wells should be
    examined before launching an experiment Each instrument differs in its method of injection and luminescence
    detection which can play a significant role in cross talk

    6E Determination of Assay Backgrounds (continued)
    Renilla Luciferase
    Background luminescence in the measurement of Renilla luciferase activity can arise from three possible sources
    1 Instrument and sample tube or plate background luminescence is similar to that noted above for firefly luciferase
    2 Autoluminescence of coelenterazine is caused by nonenzymatic oxidation of the coelenterazine in solution
    Although the level of autoluminescence is dependent on solution composition lysates prepared with PLB
    generally yield a low and constant luminescence level Stop & Glo® Reagent has been developed with a
    proprietary formulation to further reduce autoluminescence Between the effects of the PLB and the Stop & Glo®
    Reagent formulations many luminometers are unable to measure the residual autoluminescence
    3 Residual luminescence from the firefly luciferase reaction can occur from a small amount of residual
    luminescence remaining from the firefly luciferase assay in the DualLuciferase® measurement However since
    the firefly luciferase reaction is quenched greater than 100000fold this residual luminescence is only significant
    if the Renilla luciferase luminescent reaction is 1000fold less than the intensity of the first firefly luciferase
    luminescent reaction
    The background luminescence contributed by numbers 1 and 2 above is constant and can be subtracted from all
    measurements of Renilla luciferase Because the background from number 3 is variable depending on the expression
    of firefly luciferase it may be important to verify that the level of firefly luciferase activity does not yield significant
    residual luminescence that may affect the accurate measurement of Renilla luciferase Such a circumstance may arise as
    a result of incomplete mixing of the Stop & Glo® Reagent with the sample LAR II mix In addition if the first injection
    of LAR II coats the walls of the tube but the second injection with the Stop & Glo® Reagent does not cover the same
    exposed surface area inadequate quenching may result
    Perform the following steps to determine the background contributed by the instrument sample tube and
    coelenterazine autoluminescence
    1 Use Passive Lysis Buffer to prepare a lysate of nontransfected control (NTC) cells
    2 Add 20µl of the NTC cell lysate to a luminometer tube containing 100µl of LAR II
    3 Add 100µl of Stop & Glo® Reagent to the sample tube
    4 Measure background
    Promega Corporation · 2800 Woods Hollow Road · Madison WI 537115399 USA · Toll Free in USA 8003569526 · 6082744330 · Fax 6082772516 21
    wwwpromegacom TM040 · Revised 615
    Perform the following steps to determine the background from residual firefly luciferase luminescence
    1 Use Passive Lysis Buffer to prepare a lysate of cells expressing high levels of firefly luciferase
    2 Add 20µl of the cell lysate to a luminometer tube containing 100µl of LAR II
    3 Measure firefly luciferase luminescence
    4 Add 100µl of Stop & Glo® Reagent
    5 Measure apparent luminescence
    6 Subtract background contributed from coelenterazine autoluminescence plus instrument background
    (as determined above)
    For a very strong firefly luciferase reaction the backgroundsubtracted value of quenched luminescence measured
    in Step 6 should be 100000fold less than the value of firefly luciferase luminescence measured in Step 3 In most
    instances the value for firefly luminescence will not be 100000fold greater than the background value alone
    Therefore it is unlikely that significant residual firefly luminescence signal will be detectable above the background
    measured in Step 5
