Applications: Monitor NF-κB signaling pathway activity. Screen for activators or inhibitors of NF-κB signaling pathway.
Description: The NF-κB reporter (Luc)-THP-1 cell line is designed for monitoring nuclear factor Kappa B (NF-κB) signal transduction pathways. It contains a firefly luciferase gene driven by four copies of the NF-κB response element located upstream of the minimal TATA promoter. After activation by pro-inflammatory cytokines or stimulants of lymphokine receptors, endogenous NF-κB transcription factors bind to the DNA response elements, inducing transcription of the luciferase reporter gene.
Host Cell Line: THP-1
Mycoplasma Testing: The cell line has been screened using the PCR-based Venor™GeM Mycoplasma Detection kit (Sigma-Aldrich, #MP0025) to confirm the absence of Mycoplasma species.
Storage Stability: Immediately upon receipt, store in liquid nitrogen.
Supplied As: Each vial contains ~2 x 106 cells in 1 ml of 10% DMSO.
Warnings: Avoid freeze/thaw cycles.
Biosafety Level: BSL-1
