Kits containing the supplies for lysing cell samples and measuring beta-galactosidase reporter protein activity within the resulting lysates. Products are designed for use with various cell types and may use a colorimetric assay for detection.
The β-Gal Assay Kit provides the reagents required to quickly measure the levels of active β-galactosidase expressed in cells transfected with plasmids expressing the lacZ gene. lacZ is a bacterial gene often used as a reporter construct in eukaryotic transfection experiments.
The β-Gal Staining Kit allows you to determine the percentage of transfected cells expressing lacZ. lacZ is a bacterial gene often used as a reporter construct in eukaryotic transfection experiments. The gene product of lacZ, β-galactosidase, is resistant to proteolysis in cellular lysates and its...
