iLite® RANKL Assay Ready Cells

Product Overview

The iLite® RANKL Assay Ready Cells can be used for the quantification of RANKL activity, RANKL inhibitor activity or immunogenicity studies and determination of neutralizing antibody response against RANKL inhibitors in test samples, including human serum.

iLite® RANKL Assay Ready Cells are human HEK293* cells genetically engineered and optimized to be responsive to human soluble RANK Ligand (RANKL), resulting in a proportional expression of Firefly Luciferase. 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 HEK-293 cell line has been used under a license obtained from AdVec Inc.

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.
