Off-the-shelf viral vectors for overexpression of firefly luciferase for in vivo imaging


Off-the-shelf viral vectors expressing firefly luciferase provide a convenient and reliable solution for bioluminescent in vivo imaging studies. These ready-to-use vectors are engineered for robust transgene expression, enabling sensitive, noninvasive monitoring of gene expression, cell viability, tumor progression, and therapeutic responses in living animals. Available in multiple formats—such as adenoviral (AdV), adeno-associated viral (AAV), and lentiviral (LV) systems—and under commonly used promoters (e.g., CMV, EF1α, or tissue-specific promoters), they support a wide range of experimental designs. Produced at high titers and quality-controlled for performance, these vectors allow rapid study initiation without the time and cost associated with custom vector construction, making them ideal for biodistribution, longitudinal tracking, and preclinical imaging applications.

Firefly Luciferase (fLuc)

The classical and most widely used bioluminescent reporter system, firefly luciferase (fLuc) utilizes the substrate D-luciferin and emits yellow-green light (~560 nm). At physiological temperature (37 °C), its emission spectrum shifts toward longer wavelengths, enhancing light penetration through deep tissues and improving detection sensitivity in vivo.
