iLite® TLR9 Assay Ready Cells

Product Overview

iLite® TLR9 Assay Ready Cells are based on the HEK293 cells that have been genetically engineered and optimized to be responsive to unmethylated CpG islands through TLR9, resulting in a proportional expression of Firefly Luciferase. They represent a functional, robust, and agile technology to facilitate the path towards the development of new compounds to activate or inhibit TLR9.

Normalization of cell count and serum matrix effects are obtained by a second reporter gene, a Renilla Luciferase reporter gene construct, under the control of a constitutive promoter.

iLite TLR9 Assay Ready Cells can be used to quantify class B CpG oligonucleotides and evaluate the inhibiting activity of new compounds.

Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) is an innate immune sensor for DNA, as it recognizes unmethylated CpG motifs. TLR9 agonists have substantial potential as vaccine adjuvants, and their activation has also been related to immunotoxicity against AAV vectors.

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.
