iLite® CD20 (+) Svar Luc Assay Ready Cells

BM5028

iLite® CD20 (+) Svar Luc Assay Ready Cells were designed for sensitive and reproducible studies of complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC). They enable robust assessment of CDC activity, antibody screening, and functional inhibition using luciferase-based readout.

  • "Assay-ready" format for rapid and convenient use
  • Reproducible and safe
  • A true measure of cell lysis
  • Reduced assay variability and higher reproducibility compared to cells in culture

Product Overview

The iLite® CD20 (+) Svar Luc Assay Ready Cells are used for studies of complement-dependent cytotoxicity in test samples, including human serum, to investigate the activity of complement-dependent cytotoxicity in different samples. The cells can also be used to assess the efficiency and screening of antibodies of interest in the development of therapeutic antibodies. Moreover, cells can be utilized to quantify the inhibition of complement-dependent cytotoxicity activity.

iLite® CD20 (+) Svar Luc Assay Ready Cells are human B lymphocyte Ramos cells (ATCC #CRL-1596) that have been genetically engineered to express Svar luciferase constitutively.

How it works

arrow
Principle of the CDC bioassay

Principle of the CDC bioassay

Our CDC cell lines express Svar luciferase from a constitutive promoter. In addition, they overexpress antigens on the cell surface that can be bound by a therapeutic drug antibody.

Principle of the CDC bioassay

Principle of the CDC bioassay

Upon adding human serum, complement proteins from the serum can bind to the antibody.

Principle of the CDC bioassay

Principle of the CDC bioassay

This triggers the lysis of the cell in a process like that of the body. Upon lysis, luciferase leaks out of the cell.

Principle of the CDC bioassay

Principle of the CDC bioassay

The luciferase can be measured following the addition of a substrate.
