Cellosaurus Vero-Luc2p (CVCL_A7UI)
| Cell line name | Vero-Luc2p |
|---|---|
| Accession | CVCL_A7UI |
| Resource Identification Initiative | To cite this cell line use: Vero-Luc2p (RRID:CVCL_A7UI) |
| Comments | Group: Non-human primate cell line. Biotechnology: Used in a quantitative and sensitive luciferase-based assay for bacterial toxins that inhibit protein synthesis (PubMed=20585113). Characteristics: Stably expresses luciferase Luc2p which is tagged with a PEST sequence which promotes rapid turnover. Therefore, luciferase activity reflects the current level of protein synthesis (PubMed=20585113). Characteristics: Transduced with a Luc2P-IRES-eGFP construct. Genetic integration: Method=Transduction; Gene=FPbase; R9NL8; eGFP (Note=Enhanced GFP). Genetic integration: Method=Transduction; Gene=UniProtKB; P08659; Photinus pyralis firefly-type luciferase (Note=With optimized codon usage for mammalian expression = Luc2). Derived from site: In situ; Kidney, epithelium; UBERON=UBERON_0004819. Cell type: Epithelial cell of kidney; CL=CL_0002518. |
