Cells were treated for 24 hours, at which time they were collected in Passive Lysis Buffer and the activity of firefly and Renilla luciferase in the cell extract was determined.
To determine the luciferase activity, cells or tissues were lysed in Passive Lysis Buffer (Promega) and assayed for firefly (F-luc) and Renilla (R-Luc) luciferase according to the Promega Luciferase assay kit instructions in a Turner Designs (Sunnyvale, CA) TD-20/20 or a PharMingen Monolight 3010 luminometer.
A plasmid encoding the HBSAg under the control of the Human Cytomegalovirus Immediate Early gene I (HCMVIE1) enhancer/promoter (pRc/CMV-HBs(S) was obtained from Aldevron (Fargo, ND) [ 20 ] . A plasmid encoding the firefly luciferase gene under the control of the HCMVIE1 enhancer/promoter (pHCMVIE1-luciferase) was used to measure relative gene expression levels following gene transfer by low-volume jet injection, particle bombardment and needle and syringe injection [ 2 ] . Plasmids were propagated in DH5α cells and purified by Bio 101 Merlin Core Services (Carlsbad, CA).
These cells where in turn co-transfected with pSV40/Zeo2 (Invitrogen) and pG5-luc (Promega), encoding firefly luciferase or pGAL4-SEAP and MBT-2 cells were selected in 400 μg/ml Zeocin and Panc02 cells in 500 μg/ml Zeocin.
Pathway activity was then assessed by measurement of luciferase expressed from a co-transfected plasmid containing firefly luciferase-coding sequence under the control of LEF binding elements.
