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


Off-the-shelf viral vectors for NanoLuc overexpression enable highly sensitive bioluminescent in vivo imaging. NanoLuc is a small, ATP-independent luciferase that produces intense blue light using the substrate furimazine, allowing detection of low-level gene expression and small cell populations. These ready-to-use vectors—available in AdV, AAV, and LV formats—are engineered for robust expression and produced at high titers for immediate use. They support applications such as gene expression monitoring, cell tracking, biodistribution analysis, and evaluation of therapeutic responses in preclinical animal models.

NanoLuc (Nluc)

An engineered luciferase derived from deep-sea shrimp, NanoLuc (Nluc) is much smaller in size and approximately 100-fold brighter than firefly (fLuc) or Renilla (Rluc) luciferase. However, its blue emission spectrum limits light penetration, making it less effective for very deep-tissue imaging.
