Learn more about the advantages of our LentiBrite Lentiviral Biosensors! Click Here Biosensors can be used to detect the presence/absence of a particular protein as well as the subcellular location of that protein within the live state of a cell. Fluorescent tags are often desired as a means to visualize the protein of interest within a cell by either fluorescent microscopy or time-lapse video capture. Visualizing live cells without disruption allows researchers to observe cellular conditions in real time. Lentiviral vector systems are a popular research tool used to introduce gene products into cells. Lentiviral transfection has advantages over non-viral methods such as chemical-based transfection including higher-efficiency transfection of dividing and non-dividing cells, long-term stable expression of the transgene, and low immunogenicity. EMD Millipore is introducing LentiBrite™ Lentiviral Biosensors, a new suite of pre-packaged lentiviral particles encoding important and foundational proteins of autophagy, apoptosis, and cell structure for visualization under different cell/disease states in live cell and in vitro analysis. • Pre-packaged, fluorescently-tagged with GFP & RFP • Higher efficiency transfection as compared to traditional chemical-based and other non-viral-based transfection methods • Ability to transfect dividing, non-dividing, and difficult-to-transfect cell types, such as primary cells or stem cells •Non-disruptive towards cellular function EMD Millipore’s LentiBrite™ RFP-LC3-G120A lentiviral particles serve as a negative control alongside RFP-LC3 wild-type (catalog # 17-10143) for live cell analysis of autophagy. |

Background Information | Autophagy, a stress-induced degradative pathway, plays a role in many diseases, including cancer, neurodegeneration, and infections. Members of the LC3 family play a key role in the maturation of the autophagosome, the central organelle of autophagy. LC3 precursors are proteolytically processed to form cytosolic LC3-I. Upon initiation of autophagy, the C-terminal glycine is modified by addition of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) to form LC3-II, which translocates to autophagosomes in a punctate distribution. DNA constructs encoding fluorescent proteins fused to LC3 are widely employed for monitoring autophagosome formation by fluorescence microscopy. A mutant form of LC3 with the C-terminal glycine changed to alanine (LC3-G120A) is unable to accept the PE modification and fails to translocate to the autophagosome upon induction of autophagy. EMD Millipore’s LentiBrite™ RFP-LC3-G120A lentiviral particles serve as a negative control alongside RFP-LC3 wild-type (catalog # 17-10143) for live cell analysis of autophagy. |
