iLite® CD3 Effector
BM5005
The iLite® CD3 Effector cell is optimized for quantifying T cell-mediated cytotoxicity and bispecific antibody function via CD3 engagement.
- High sensitivity and large dynamic range
- "Assay-ready" format for rapid and convenient use
- Reproducible and biologically relevant results
- Reduced assay variability and higher reproducibility compared to cells in culture
- Normalization of cell counts and serum matrix effects using a second reporter gene
Product Overview
The iLite® CD3 Effector Assay Ready Cells are human-engineered cells (Jurkat, ATCC #TIB-152) to be used for the assessment of CD3-mediated T-cell activation.
The CD3 Effector Assay Ready cells can be used alone or in combination with a target cell to measure a biological response when the NFAT pathway is induced by activation of the CD3 receptor on the effector cell, resulting in the reporter luciferase expression.

How it works
Principle of iLite® T-cell activation bioassays
Our two-cell T-cell activation bioassays consist of target cells expressing the antigen under study and effector cells expressing CD3/TCR Complex. Target control cells that do not express the antigen are also available. The effector cells contain two luciferase genes: an inducible Firefly luciferase gene and a constitutively expressed Renilla luciferase gene used for control purposes.
