The TA luciferase reporter vector is used as a control in experiments where luciferase activity is measured to assess the effects of a treatment or condition on gene expression or signaling pathways.
 
The inclusion of a hygromycin resistance gene in the vector allows it to be used for stable cell line selection. Additionally, a GFP-tagged version of the vector is available for monitoring transfection efficiency. Maps of the vector, including hygromycin and GFP configurations, can be found in the product's image gallery.
