Description: Luciferase Cell Lysis Buffer (LCLB) is a proprietary formulation developed to produce mammalian cell lysates for reporter assays. This lysis buffer is compatible with reagents for assaying the activity of Gaussia as well as other luciferases (e.g. Renilla & Firefly) and β-galactosidase.
1X Luciferase Cell Lysis Buffer:
1 X concentration obtained by dilution of 5X buffer with distilled water
Protocol
Dilute LCLB (5X) with dH2O to 1X concentration.
Aspirate the growth media from wells.
Wash the cells once with PBS (pH 7.4) and aspirate.
Add the appropriate volume of 1X LCLB to each well (See Table below):

Incubate at room temp for 15-20 min on an orbital shaker (making sure the surface in a well is completely covered with the buffer).
Use 5-20 µl of cell lysate for assaying.

Usage notes:
Depending on the cell type, some cells may need larger volume and longer incubation time for sufficient lysis. One can determine whether or not the lysis is sufficient by assaying the activity of intracellular Gaussia luciferase using the pCMV-GLuc Control Plasmid . Although the Gaussia luciferase produced from pCMV-GLuc is secreted into the culture medium, at a given time point, 5-10% of the total activity should reside in the lysate .
Normally, there is no need to remove the cell debris by centrifugation before assaying Gaussia luciferase activity. If additional assays are to be performed (e.g. protein concentration, SDS-PAGE, etc.), it is best to centrifuge the cell lysate to remove cell debris.
