Cignal Reporter and Lenti Reporter Assays: why dual-luciferase?
 Sources of Variability in Cell-based Assays:
 Number of cells seeded per well
 Transfection efficiencies within and across plates
 Multichannel pipettor inconsistencies
 “Edge effects” influencing cell culture
 Viability of cells following transfection/treatment
 Lysis efficiencies within and across plates
 Variability inherent to reporter assay
 Changes due to the designed treatments of cells
 RNA interference
 Overexpression
 Recombinant protein/peptide/growth factor
 Small molecule
Dual-luciferase assay
design corrects for
these unwanted
sources of variability.

Cignal Lenti Reporters: biosafety
 VSV-G pseudotyped lentiviral particles
 Deletion in U3 portion of 3’LTR results in
self-inactivation (SIN), following
transduction of target cell
 No structural or replication genes are
expressed in transduced cells, making
Cignal lentiviral vectors replication-
defective
 No virulence genes (vpr, vif, vpu, nef) are
present in the Cignal Lenti Reporters
 Experiments should be performed under
Biosafety Level 2 (BSL-2) conditions
See our Cignal Lenti Reporter web pages for useful links
Sample to Insight
Tips for a successful transduction
Avoid freeze thaws
 Result in activity loss
MOI dilution series
 Recommended range 5–50
Transduction reagent
 Sure ENTRY usually in the range of 4–8 μg/ml

 Sequential 4-hour transductions
