Reporter-labeled Cells
Reporter-labeled cell lines are invaluable research tools for studying gene expression and for screening cell lines. Some of the most commonly used reporter systems are those that induce a visually identifiable phenotype such as the emission of fluorescent or luminescent light or the production of a pigmented product. Fluorescent reporters exhibit a fluorescent signal upon exposure to specific wavelengths of light; luminescent reporters use a luciferase enzyme to catalyze a reaction with its substrate, luciferin, to produce visible light; and chromogenic reporters employ an enzyme label that reacts with a substrate to produce a pigmented product.
Advantages of Reporter-labeled Cultures
Reporter systems have an array of applications in the basic and applied sciences. In biological research, reporter systems provide a measurable and distinguishable phenotype that can be applied in the analysis of:
- Quantification
- Detection
- Host-pathogen interactions
- Drug discovery
- Compound screening
- Toxicity studies
- In vivo imaging
- Quality control
- Pathway research
- Differentiation studies
