Luciferase mRNA Transfection of Antigen Presenting Cells Permits Sensitive Nonradioactive Measurement of Cellular and Humoral Cytotoxicity
Table 1
White opaque flat-bottom plates together with the Infinite M200 (Tecan) plate reader result in a robust signal-to-noise ratio.
| Parameter | Experiment | Outcome |
| Plate opacity | White opaque versus transparent | Specific luciferase signals obtained from white opaque plates were 2-3-fold higher |
| Plate design | Flat-bottom versus V-shaped bottom | Only negligible well-to-well cross-talk was observed when flat-bottom plates were used |
| Plate reader | Wallac VICTOR2 (Perkin Elmer) versus Infinite M200 (Tecan) versus GENios Pro (Tecan) | Signals from the Infinite M200 device were 4-fold and signals from the GENios Pro 20-fold higher than those detected with the Wallac VICTOR2 |
