Fluorescent MyoD Reporter Lentivirus: High-quality, fluorescent lentiviral reporter system for the readout of myoblast determination protein 1 (MyoD) in mammalian cells. Tandem repeats of the response element contain muscle creatine kinase (MCK)-L and MCK-R sites, which are the DNA-binding motifs recognized by myogenic factors such as MyoD, Myf5, Myogenin, and MRF4. MyoD and Myf5 are active in proliferating myoblasts, whereas Myogenin and MRF4 occur after myoblast exit from the cell cycle. This product could be used for monitoring the transcriptional activities of myogenic factors in muscle cells. The lentiviral particles are purified by PEG precipitation and sucrose gradient centrifugation, and are ideal for studying the activity of myogenic factors such as MyoD in difficult-to-transfect cells including primary and/or thawed cells.

Product Data
Figure 1. GFP reporter activation in cells co-transfected with MyoD-TAG-Puro and MyoD HEK293FT cells were co-transfected with plasmids for MyoD-TAG-Puro and either vector control or expression construct for human MyoD (MyoD-P2A-RFP). The imagesGFP shows the cells The reporter activity can be visualized by GFP. Images were acquired 24-36 h later, with GFP showing the reporter activity. RFP marks the cells expressing MyoD from the second plasmid.

Recommended Controls
Reporter Negative Control Lentivirus – Ready-to-transduce lentiviral particles expressing minimal TATA box-driven reporter. The construct is the same as the TF Reporters except that it lacks the transcriptional response elements which drive signal pathway/TF-specific reporter expression. The reporter negative control lentiviral particles allow to establish a baseline for background reporter activity and determine specificity of any treatments to activate the reporter.
Reporter Positive Control Lentivirus – Ready-to-transduce lentiviral particles with constitutive expression of the reporter. The reporter positive control lentivirus is useful for transduction optimization studies, especially if the cells are very sensitive or difficult-to-transduce.
Renilla Luciferase Internal Control Lentivirus – Ready-to-transduce lentiviral particles expressing minimal TATA box-driven Renilla luciferase (RLuc).

Additional Information
Additional Information
- High Sensitivity – LipExoGen FOXO3 Reporter lentiviral particles are made using a novel vector platform based on the third generation system. Transcriptional response elements which are preferentially recognized by FOXO3 are arranged as DNA tandem repeats upstream of the minimal TATA promoter-driven reporter, and downstream of an optimized minimal enhancer (pc) of the human CMV promoter. When the signal pathway/TF is activated, the mini enhancer synergizes with TF binding to the response elements (up to 8 repeats in some products, depending on strength of reporter activation) to amplify expression of the fluorescent (GFP/RFP) or luciferase (Luc) reporter, with minimal enhancement of background. As a result, the reporter system provides a highly sensitive readout for signaling pathway or specific transcription factor activation in human and mouse cells.
- Easily Establish Stable Reporter Cell Lines – The reporter lentiviral particles are ultra-purified and concentrated to high-titer by PEG purification and sucrose gradient centrifugation to allow for efficient transduction of difficult-to-transfect cells, including primary and/or freeze-thawed cells. Stable cell lines are easily generated through puromycin or blasticidin selection.
- Discovery Made Easy – Signal pathway or specific transcription factor activity can be detected by fluorescence, making LipExoGen TF Reporter lentiviral particles more practical than traditional luciferase reporters and/or biochemical assays. Pathway/TF activation can be readout directly by fluorescence microscopy in living cell cultures, thus paving the way for unexpected discoveries.
- Readout On Flow – Fluorescent reporter activation can also be readout by flow cytometry, providing more versatility in data acquisition for labs with different instruments.
- Best Value – LipExoGen lentiviral particle products are made using optimized lentiviral vectors developed in-house, which allows us to provide the highest quality products while retaining competitive prices. These high-titer lentiviral particles feature a highly sensitive fluorescent reporter system which has been validated to read out the activity of the indicated transcription factor or signaling pathway.
- Same Cost For Custom Lentivirus – You can easily request any combination of reporter (GFP/RFP/Luc) and selection marker (puromycin/blasticidin) for this product, without additional cost, by contacting us. To view our complete list of vectors, click here.
