how to choose Premag PRL-TK,PRL-SV40,PRL-CMV?

Hello Saul,
We typically recommend using the vector that gives moderate, but measurable Renilla luciferase activity. Usually the pRL-tk is favored because it uses a promoter that is usually less strong than SV40 and CMV. This will vary depending on the cell line and the transfection conditions.
