iLite®  IL-23 Assay Ready Cells

Product Overview

iLite® IL-23 Assay Ready Cells are a highly specific genetically engineered reporter gene cell line based on avian DT-40 cells (ATCC#CRL2111). They are optimized to respond to IL-23 with specific, proportional expression of Firefly Luciferase without cross-reactivity to IL-12.

Lite® IL-23 Assay Ready Cells can be used as both a sensitive and specific assay for the quantification of the potency of anti-IL-23 or anti-p40 drugs. Because the cells respond specifically to IL-23, they can be used as an assay for the development of specific p19 inhibitors.

Normalization of cell counts and serum matrix effects is obtained by a second reporter gene, a Renilla Luciferase reporter gene construct, under control of a constitutive promotor.

The ATCC® CRL-2111 cell line is used under a license from ATCC®

How it works

arrow
ilite-1

The function of iLite assays

iLite cells have receptors on the cell surface that can bind to the marker under study.

ilite-2

The function of iLite assays

Upon binding of the marker to its receptor, a signaling path activates the production of luciferase from a reporter gene.

ilite-3

The function of iLite assays

Following cell lysis and the addition of a substrate, the luciferase is measured using a luminometer.

ilite-4

The function of iLite assays

iLite cells contain a secondary Renilla luciferase gene that is constitutively expressed and is used for normalization.
