iLite® Type I IFN FAST Assay Ready Cells

Product Overview

iLite® IFN type I FAST Assay Ready Cells are human embryonic kidney HEK293 cells (used under a license obtained from AdVec Inc). They have been genetically engineered and optimized to be responsive to type I interferon, resulting in a proportional expression of Firefly Luciferase.

This product can be used for studies of type I interferon (IFNα and IFNβ) in test samples, including human serum.

iLite® IFN type I FAST Assay Ready Cells also contain a Renilla Luciferase internal standardization gene under the control of a constitutive promoter that renders assay results independent of cell number and provides a means for correcting for cytotoxic effects that may be encountered in some biological samples.

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.
