- Nano lantern (NL) consists of Renilla luciferase and adjacent fluorescence protein. The chemiluminescence of the luciferase provides light source for excitation and enables the fluorescence protein to be observed. Three colors of NLs, yellow, cyan and orange, have been developed by Dr. Okada and Dr. Takai of the RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research (BDR) and Dr. Nagai and their colleague of the Osaka University.[Takai, A. et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 112 (14): 4352-4356, 2015. PMID: 25831507].
- Generally, external excitation light is required for observation of fluorescence proteins. On the other hand, external light often causes problems such as autofluorescence, phototoxicity, and photobleaching. NLs do not require external light source and overcome such problems.

- We provide 51 NLs appeared in the paper including yellow, cyan and orange NLs that were used for the observation of promoter activity of Nanog, Oct4 and Sox2, respectively. NLs for the observation of intracellular compartment such as lysosome, nuclei, cytoskeleton and so on are also available. For more information, please refer to the address below. We are looking forward to receiving your order!
