It is a promoter gene derived by the SV40. At pmirGLO Vector, SV40 early enhancer/promotor is located at 426–844 nucleotides, with a length of 419 nucleotides. It initiates the transcription of the hRluc-neo fusion protein coding region. To character its experimental data, we do an experiment about the strength of SV40 promoter at different time.
In our experiment, we transferred the pmirGLO plasmid into the HepG2 via Lipofectamine™3000. To quantify the reliability of SV40 promoter characteristics with time, we made statistics of its downstream Renilla Luciferase expression as representation of SV40 activity. After transfection of 0h, 6h, 12h, 24h, we gathered cells to detect the expression of hRluc, collected data by Beyotime™ RG027 Dual Luciferase Reporter Gene Assay Kit and analyzed them by ImageJ.
