Key benefits of iLite Assays

  • Highly specific reporter gene cell lines
  • Very sensitive cell line responses (10 fold inductions)
  • Assay Ready Cells – ready-to-use from the freezer, without culturing of cells
  • Assays within a workday (typically 4-7 hour assays)
  • Normalization gene, which eliminates unwanted matrix effects

Product Description

iLite IL-2 ARCs are avian DT-40 cells which have been genetically engineered and optimized to be responsive to IL-2, resulting in a proportional expression of Firefly Luciferase. Normalization of cell counts, and serum matrix effects is obtained by a second reporter gene, a Renilla Luciferase reporter gene construct, under control of a constitutive promotor.

Additional Information

Background


Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is part of the body’s natural response to microbial infection and a tool in the immune system discrimination between foreign (“non-self”) and “self”. It signals through the IL-2 receptor, a complex consisting of three chains, termed alpha, beta, and gamma. IL-2 has essential roles in key functions of the immune system, tolerance and immunity, primarily as a stimulant of T- and B-cell growth and maturation. IL-2 activates and stimulates the growth of immune cells, most importantly T-Cells, but also Natural Killer Cells (NK Cells), both can eliminate cancer cells directly. Anti-tumor effects of IL-2 appear to be mediated by its effects on NK Cells, Lymphokine-activated Killer Cells and other cytotoxic cells (1,2).
