Luciferase expression in NCX1.7-luc-transfected cell lines 48 hours after transfection. All data was normalised to pGL2-basic empty vector (encoding the luciferase gene devoid of a promoter region) transfected cells. pMIR-Report vector (Applied Biosystems) was used as a positive control for successful transfection in each of the cell lines tested (data not shown). All expression values are relative to HEK293-transfected cells, set as 1.0.
