Abstract
This article describes the use of three reporter enzymes used to study promoter activity in transgenic animals. Chloramphenicol acetyl transferase may be assayed by a nonchromatographic method that is rapid and sensitive. beta-Galactosidase is measured by a photometric assay and luciferase is assayed by measuring the emission of light using a luminometer. The relative merits of each enzyme is discussed. The use of reporter enzymes provides a rapid and sensitive method for analysis of transgene expression.Entities:
