iLite mVEGF (+) Target

Product Overview

iLite® ADCC Target mVEGF (+) Assay Ready Cells are based on the human embryonic kidney cell line HEK2931*, and have been genetically engineered and optimized to express high and constant levels of membrane bound VEGF. The cells are to be used as target cells together with iLite® ADCC Effector (V) Assay Ready Cells for measuring the ADCC activity of anti-VEGF antibodies.

* The HEK-293 cell line has been used under a license obtained from AdVec Inc.

How it works

Principle of iLite® ADCC Bioassays

Principle of iLite® ADCC Bioassays

Our two-cell ADCC bioassays consist of target cells expressing the antigen under study and effector cells closely resembling the natural FcγRIIIa (CD16) signal transduction pathway. 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.

Principle of iLite® ADCC Bioassays

Principle of iLite® ADCC Bioassays

A therapeutic antibody can bind to its antigen on the target cell surface. The fc-region of the antibody can bind to the FcγRIIIa receptor on the effector cells.

Principle of iLite® ADCC Bioassays

Principle of iLite® ADCC Bioassays

The antibody binding to the target and effector cells triggers a signal pathway in the effector cell, activating the Firefly luciferase gene. The strength of the resulting luciferase luminescence correlates with the antibody’s ability to activate ADCC.
