iLite® EGFR (-) Target

Product Overview

iLite® ADCC Target EGFR (-) Assay Ready Cells are based on the human embryonic kidney cell line, HEK293, and have been genetically engineered to be depleted of EGRF expression.

These cells are optimized to be used as negative control together with iLite® ADCC Effector (V) Assay Ready Cells and iLite® ADCC Target EGFR (+) Assay Ready Cells for measuring the ADCC activity of anti-EGFR antibodies.

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.
