Abstract

See full text

The invention provides a construct comprising an amino acid sequence attached to a luciferin substrate, wherein the amino acid sequence is not a substrate for either luciferase or caspase-3/7 to render the substrate inactive in the presence of luciferase. The construct is useful, for example, as a negative control for in vitro apoptosis assays and the bioluminescent imaging of drug-induced apoptosis in vivo. The invention also provides methods for screening for novel modulators of an apoptosis-related disease.
